In September, the Russians lifted $ 7.5 billion in banks. The Central Bank connects this with the announcement of mobilization, writes Voice of America.
According to the regulator, the main outflow was recorded in the second half of the month, when the number of people leaving the country after the announcement of mobilization increased. Many of these people removed all their savings in banks before leaving.
The situation was complicated by the fact that Russians can only use cash abroad. Russian maps abroad do not work after imposing sanctions.
