The legal regime of international sanctions and the digital ruble

The article discusses countermeasures in the national financial system, introduced in response to unilateral restrictive measures in relation to the Russian Federation, in particular, the development of a bill on the introduction of a digital ruble. The authors conclude that the creation of the Bank of Russia digital currency, in addition to the development of the payment system, forms the trends to displacement of the US dollar as a key currency of international settlements and consolidates the efforts of other states in the indicated direction. According to the authors, the legislative consolidation of the national digital currency will limit the risk of redistribution of funds into foreign digital currencies and will contribute to the macroeconomic and financial stability of the country.
