history

50 rubles (Baku 1918)
Ruble 1723
The ruble symbol introduced in 2013

In the 14th century, the Russian ruble was first introduced in the form of gold and silver coins . Up until now, precious metals were used in bars as a means of payment . In order to be able to pay smaller amounts, small pieces were broken off from the bars. This is how the actual name of the currency came about. Because "ruble" means something like "discount".

In the 16th century, the ruble established itself as a means of payment throughout Russia. The tsarism of Russia began a systematic minting of silver rubles and silver kopecks in the 17th century. The portrait of the Russian tsar could be seen on the new coins. Portraits of Russian emperors and empresses were also used on coins in the 18th century . During this time, smaller denominations of the coins were minted on gold. Significant changes in design were made in the early 19th century.

20th century

At the time of the Russian Revolution was in 1917 by large amounts of paper money a hyperinflation caused. In the Soviet Union there was again a new, stabilized currency called the “ruble” in the 1920s, some of which was backed by gold, silver and billon coins . From the Second World War there was again inflation. Reforms took place in 1947 and 1961.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, most of the former Union republics rejected the ruble as a means of payment and wanted to introduce their own currency. Therefore, the Belarusian and the Transnistrian ruble still exist today in addition to the Russian ruble .

The Russian Central Bank printed new banknotes in 1992 with the motif of the Russian flag and the Russian Central Bank instead of a country name. In the same year, the privatization of state property began. Over 70% of the shops, restaurants, cafes and workshops were sold to private individuals; they were no longer under state control. After the liberalization of trade and the liberalization of prices, hyperinflation began (in 1992 prices increased twenty-fold on average, so the inflation rate was around 2000%). In the following years the inflation rate was between 100% and 500%. The real income of the population sank drastically, some parts of the population became impoverished.

In 1995 the Russian economy was in a state of acute stagflation . The decline in production stopped for the first time since 1991, the gross domestic product (GDP) stagnated, but prices continued to rise massively. During this time there was a strong appreciation phase of the exchange rate, which was primarily driven by high exports and direct investment in the raw materials industry . In the following years, the Russian economy recovered due to the increasing trade in raw materials. Inflation rates fell significantly and GDP grew annually.

On January 1, 1998, 1000 old rubles became 1 new ruble - the Russian state "deleted three zeros". Yeltsin said this decree will put a definitive line under the epoch of high inflation; it also makes payment transactions easier. The central bank set up a citizen helpline.

During this time, economic policy was considered successful. Inflation rates were low, the exchange rate against world currencies was stable and interest rates were falling.

1998 ruble crisis

In 1998 and 1999 there was the ruble crisis in Russia . In the wake of the Asian financial crisis , the demand for crude oil and non-metals fell temporarily or their prices fell. Some of the investors (e.g. Russian and Asian) sold their investments. The price of government bonds fell; the ruble exchange rate as well. The central bank reacted to this with drastic increases in the key interest rate (on May 27, 1998 to 150% for a few days) in order to stop the price slide. On August 17, 1998, a few hours after the Russian President had given assurances that there would be no devaluation of the ruble, the central bank announced a 53% devaluation of the ruble. In this context, the foreign exchange market was restricted and a three-month moratorium was declared on the servicing of due foreign claims against Russian private borrowers. The state declared itself temporarily insolvent. The publication of various economic concepts to save the ruble, such as the nationalization of commercial banks, contributed to the ruble's decline. In the course of this financial crisis , the inflation rate rose to 85%, many banks went bankrupt and the proportion of the poor rose significantly.

Despite severe economic problems, the national economy experienced a trend reversal at the turn of the millennium from 1999. The main reasons for this were the increased world market prices for crude oil, natural gas and metals in connection with the devaluation of the ruble and the reduction in real wages. This gave Russia a great cost advantage. Due to fiscal policy decisions, the inflation rate could be reduced to 21% in 2000. Economic growth increased annually, and Russia recovered relatively quickly. Due to the dependence of the Russian economy on oil profits, the "Russian Oil Stabilization Fund" was founded in 2004. This should counteract the high volatility of oil prices on the one hand and the dangers of a rising real exchange rate on the other. The fund grew to $ 84.4 billion in three years. If the budget balance falls, it can be partially offset with the savings. However, a minimum reserve must always be held.

Global financial crisis 2007/2008

The global financial crisis of 2008 hit the Russian state with a delay. Due to the global slowdown, raw material prices collapsed , which hit Russia in particular. When the US stock exchanges crashed, international investors had their shares in Russia, which accounts for about half the Russian stock market, cashed out. After the prices of Russian stocks fell by 20%, there were further price drops. Russian oil stocks have since fallen 60%. The nominal exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar fell by 3.2% in August 2008 and by 4.5% in September 2008. It was therefore in a ratio of 26.2: 1 to the dollar in October of that year. The ruble came under strong devaluation pressure.

The exchange rate target of the Russian central bank at the beginning of 2008 was 41 rubles against a weighted currency basket of US dollars and euros . During the year it fluctuated around 30 rubles.

This forced the central bank to make substantial support purchases. However, with success, as the depreciation pressure on the ruble eased. The government was able to hold the ruble and prevent bank collapses from breaking out. However, it failed to stabilize the stock market.

In 2013, a vote for a ruble symbol was announced in Russia. Out of five suggestions, the symbol in which the Cyrillic “R” (looking like a Latin “P”) is provided with a horizontal line prevailed. At the end of 2013, the Russian central bank owned foreign currencies worth more than US $ 500 billion at the time; At the end of 2014, it still had foreign currencies worth around $ 400 billion.

In 2014, the economic sanctions imposed by the USA , Japan , Australia and the EU in the wake of the Ukraine and Crimean crises , as well as the drop in oil prices , made themselves felt on the financial markets. The ruble rate fell sharply in 2014 in relation to all major currencies . On December 16, the exchange rate of 100 rubles for one euro was briefly exceeded for the first time, even though the central bank had previously raised the key rate from 10.5 to 17%.

Putin addressed the ruble exchange rate and decline in his annual State of the Union address on December 4, 2014. He stated that the currency could continue to decline in value if oil prices fell. In 2014 the ruble lost about 60% of its external value; The fear of further devaluation drives many Russians to flee into real assets . The Russian Minister of Economic Affairs Alexei Ulyukayev expressed himself very differently from Putin; he named delayed reforms and inaction as the causes.

According to the Russian government , the inflation rate was over 10% in 2014, the highest it has been since 2009. On November 30, 2015, the bank put its foreign currency holdings at approximately $ 365 billion.

Monetary policy

Russian Central Bank

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation was established in 1990 on the basis of the Russian State Bank of the USSR. When the Commonwealth of Independent States was formed in November 1991, the Soviet government declared the central bank to be the only organ of the state's monetary and foreign exchange regulations. Its main task is to maintain the stability of the financial system and thus to create solid conditions for sustainable economic growth.

The currency basket

Since 2005, the Russian central bank has switched to pegging the ruble rate to a basket of currencies made up of US dollars and euros. This system is designed to protect the Russian economy from excessively abrupt exchange rate fluctuations. Within this currency basket, the euro has a weighting of 45% and the dollar 55%. The ruble appreciates when the euro and dollar gain in value against other currencies such as pounds, Swiss francs and Japanese yen. The ruble also benefits when the US dollar appreciates against the euro, as the US dollar has a higher weighting. Oil and gas prices have a particular influence on the course, as Russia's economy is shaped by raw materials trading.

Russian ruble in the international currency hierarchy

The Russian ruble takes the position of a soft currency in the international currency hierarchy. This means that the currency cannot be exchanged indefinitely at home and abroad and, due to economic policy, it enjoys little confidence in the country concerned. They also have a higher interest rate on property ownership compared to hard currencies. One reason for this is the risk premium that is added to the regular interest rate. For this reason, the US dollar is also the most popular currency in Russia, but the share of the euro in foreign exchange trading in exchange offices is also increasing.

At the beginning of 2009 you had to pay 41.2830 rubles for one euro . In January / February the price of the euro (the ruble rate fell) by over ten percent; At the end of the year the ruble was quoted at 43.4997 rubles per euro. The exchange rate development at the beginning of 2009 was related to several factors. For example, there was an economic crisis in many industrialized countries (→ lows on some stock exchanges in March 2009). The price of oil fell sharply in 2009: from a high of around US $ 148 per barrel of oil (159 liters) to a low of around US $ 37. Russia exports a lot of oil (and gas , the price of which is determined by the price of oil).

Russian ruble in Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The governments of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (only a few states recognize these areas as independent countries) have introduced the ruble as the official currency on their national territory. In both countries, the ruble is the common and official currency. In Abkhazia, the National Bank of Abkhazia also issues its own currency, the apsar , but its distribution is currently mainly limited to a few high-quality commemorative coins .

Banknotes since 1997

Current banknotes were issued with enhanced security features in the 1997, 2001, 2004 and 2010 series. The year 1997, in which the first series was issued, is printed on the lower right of the back of all of the currently valid banknotes. The “year of modification”, from which the banknote's design originates, can be read in microscript on the left edge of the image.

The 1997 series was introduced on January 1, 1998 (face values: 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 rubles). All banknotes from 10 to 500 rubles have the same format, the 5-ruble note is slightly smaller in size, the 1000 ruble and 5000 ruble notes are slightly larger than the other notes.

In the 2001 edition, the 5 ruble note was waived. The bill, which is often used in everyday life, therefore had to be replaced too often.

With the exception of the new security features , the 2004 series corresponds to the 2001 edition.

In the 2010 edition, only the 500, 1000 and 5000 ruble banknotes were renewed.

No new 10-ruble notes have been put into circulation since 2012. The 5 and 10 ruble bills that are no longer issued are still valid for payment transactions.

Security features of the banknotes

Banknote production in Perm, 2011

There are watermarks on the two white surfaces of the banknote . A monochrome picture on the front changes color into colorful stripes if you hold the bill at an angle. If you hold the bill at a 90 ° angle under reflecting light, you can see the letters "PP" on the curved stripe. Their gray levels change depending on the angle. Another security feature is the metallic plastic thread embedded in the paper. If you hold the banknote up to the light, the silver stripe appears as a black continuous line. Under a magnifying glass, you can see extremely small writing on the reverse side of the note, which consists of the repetitive value. Red, light green and two-tone threads are integrated throughout the banknote. The two-colored threads appear purple, but under high magnification you can see red and blue parts. People with impaired vision can feel the characters “Билет Банка России” (Bilet Banka Rossii) and the number. These are highlighted on the bill.

From the 100 ruble note, there is an additional field on the front that changes color if you hold it at an angle. Furthermore, from a note value of 100 rubles, the value of the note is punched in the paper with holes. If you hold the bill against the light, the holes become visible. On the top left of the 500 ruble note, you can see an emblem of the Central Bank of Russia. If you hold the glow up to the light, it changes color from red-orange to yellow-green. On the front of the 1000 and 5000 notes you can also see the city arms of Yaroslavl and Khabarovsk. When exposed to light, their color changes from purple to olive green.

In addition, all ruble notes are machine-readable and have appropriate security features.

All banknotes are printed on special paper. This mostly consists of linters , the non-spinnable fibers of cotton. In this way, the banknote survives an accidental wash and gives a very special paper feeling.

The coins of 1 and 5 kopecks have been withdrawn from circulation since 2008 and are no longer produced. The production price of a 1 kopeck coin was around 30 kopecks in 2008. Since then, prices have been rounded to the nearest 10 or 50 kopecks. In the meantime (2017) some supermarket checkouts have rounded to whole rubles.

One, two and five rubles

The 1, 2 and 5 ruble coins show a double-headed eagle with the inscription "БАНК РОССИИ" (Bank of Russia) written in a bow above it. The imprint of the mint can be seen under the eagle's left claw. On the lower part of the coins, the denominations of the coins are shown horizontally in words: "РУБЛЬ" (rubles), "ДВА РУБЛЯ" (two rubles) and "ПЯТЬ РУБЛЕЙ" (five rubles). These are underlined by a horizontal line that is interrupted by a point. The year of issue is shown on the underside of the coins. In the year of issue from 2002 the inscription "БАНК РОССИИ" is under the eagle and the value of the coin is above the eagle. Both are now written in a bow around the eagle.

On the other side of the ruble coins you can see the denomination in words and the number 1, 2 or 5. Further down, the stylized plant ornaments are shown again in the form of a branch.

Ten rubles

Before the 10 ruble currency coin was introduced in 2010, there were already large editions of special 10 ruble coins . The new 10 ruble coins have some security features that are supposed to make counterfeiting difficult.

In the middle of the coin the emblem of the Central Bank of Russia (double-headed eagle with wings pointing down) can be seen. Below you can see the semicircular inscription "БАНК РОССИИ" (Bank of Russia). The imprint of the mint is depicted under the eagle's left claw. On the edge of the coin is ДЕСЯТЬ РУБЛЕЙ (ten rubles). On the lower edge of the coin you can see a line that is interrupted by a point.

The other side shows the denomination of the coin, the number ten, and the word РУБЛЕЙ (ruble). On the right is the stylized plant ornament in the form of a branch. On the inside of the number zero you can also see the hidden images of the number “10” and the inscription “РУБ” (RUB), depending on the angle from which you look at the coin.
