The countries of the Eurasian Economic Union are aware of the risks of dependence on calculations in dollars and euros and are interested in using national currencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation announced.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation noted that it is premature to talk about completely abandoning the dollar and euro in mutual settlements in the Eurasian Economic Union.
“Union countries have the right to use them in cases where there is no alternative. At the same time, we see that in the current reality our partners are well aware of the risks of dependence on the dollar and the euro and are interested in the promotion of national currencies,” said the Russian Foreign Ministry’s comment.
According to the department, abandoning foreign currency within the framework of the EAEU is not a quick and one-time process, but work has been carried out in this direction since the day of the creation of the Union.
“We are not going to limit ourselves to the existing achievements, in the near future we plan to increase the share of using national currencies to 85%,” the department noted.
