Optimization of settlements for export operations in national currency under modern geopolitical conditions

The financial security of enterprises in modern geopolitical conditions is negatively affected by political and financial sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation. In modern conditions of a rather aggressive exchange rate policy of the Bank of Russia, which ensures the containment of the national currency exchange rate and has a direct impact on the receipt of negative exchange rate differences in the process of export operations of domestic enterprises, it is necessary to improve settlement measures when conducting foreign economic activity. The purpose of this study was to develop operations to optimize settlements for export transactions in national currency. The subject of the study is the economic relations that arise in the process of settlements for expert transactions when carrying out foreign economic activity in modern geopolitical conditions. As a result of the study, scenarios for reducing the role of the dollar in international payments and reserves are reflected, and changes in the field of exchange control are studied. An assessment of the financial results of the enterprise for individual contracts was made due to the reflection of negative differences caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate of international currencies and the strengthening of the ruble. The effect of paying for exports in rubles is analyzed using the example of large existing enterprise contracts. A payment scheme for the enterprise’s exported products was developed and proposed by switching to payments in national currency. It was proved that the transition of settlements with foreign buyers in rubles reduces the risk of fluctuations in the exchange rate of international currencies and contributes to the strengthening of the ruble exchange rate while increasing the economic benefits of the enterprise. The results of the study can be applied to the practical activities of not only an individual enterprise but also to the activities of other enterprises exporting products.
