The share of the ruble is the main one in settlements for Russian exports with the countries of Asia (36.3%), Europe (49.8%), the Caribbean (50.5%) and Oceania (47.2%), RBC reported citing previously closed statistics of the Bank of Russia.
Yet with America and Africa, the situation is quite the opposite so far, as the share of the Russian currency there is 17.6% and 24.2%, respectively.
The ruble is also slightly ahead of other currencies in import payments with European countries, where its share is 50.1%, while the share of currencies of unfriendly countries is 45.9%. In other regions, the share of Russian currency in import settlements is not so high.
