Abstract

The article questions the effectiveness of the mechanism traditionally used by Russia’s Central Bank to counteract the "Dutch disease" through the purchase of foreign currency from Russian exporters to prevent excessive strengthening of the ruble in an environment of high world oil prices. Revealing the strategic weaknesses of the currency channel of money emission that dominates in Russia, the author substantiates the need for a decisive transition to the stock and credit channels of money emission in order to ensure a reasonable diversification of the domestic economy.

Keywords

real effective exchange rate of the ruble, exchange rate protectionism, "Dutch dis-ease", Bank of Russia, devaluation, currency, stock and credit channels of money emission, gold and foreign exchange reserves, structural policy
