Foreign exchange transactions

In the study of the current legislation, including Federal law "On currency regulation and currency control", it is established that the category of "monetary operation" was not disclosed by the legislator but only contains a closed list of operations, which are recognised as currency ones. At the first glance, the monetary operation is an ordinary civil transaction. Indeed, in the course of the transaction there is a transfer of title to currency values, and in the case of non - residents on domestic securities. In addition, in certain civil law relations in the exchange values, and in the case of non-residents and currency of the Russian Federation internal securities can serve as a means and form of payment. The author rightly refutes the premise and draws a conclusion about the peculiarities of foreign exchange transactions.
