RT.com – Dec 26, 2025
The Russian ruble has surged more than any other major global currency this year, marking its strongest performance since 1994, according to Bloomberg calculations.
The nation’s currency has also become one of the world’s five highest-yielding major assets this year, trailing only precious metals – platinum, silver, palladium, and gold.
The ruble has risen 45% since the beginning of the year, trades near 78 per dollar and is approaching levels not seen since before the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the outlet said on Wednesday.
The ruble’s strength has been linked to a steep decline in Russian demand for foreign currency amid Western sanctions, coupled with a stringent monetary policy that has enhanced the attractiveness of ruble-denominated assets for residents.
The central bank maintained a record high key interest rate for three years until December, when it was reduced by 5 percentage points to 16% as part of measures to curb inflation amid sweeping sanctions related to the Ukraine conflict.
The latest interest rate cut continues a shift from the emergency tightening that followed the restrictions, when the key rate jumped from 9.5% to 20% to stabilize the ruble. After easing and then tightening again amid renewed price pressures, the rate peaked at 21% in October 2024 before the bank began gradual cuts this year.
Support for the ruble has also come from the Bank of Russia’s foreign currency sales, reflecting the Finance Ministry’s management of yuan and gold from the National Wealth Fund to offset lost energy revenue, the outlet added.
The ruble’s growth this year ranks it among the top five most profitable global assets in terms of spot returns, following platinum, silver, palladium, and gold.
The official Russian exchange rates for the dollar and euro were historically determined by trading activity on the Moscow Exchange. However, in June 2024, formal exchange-based trading in these currencies was suspended due to Western sanctions targeting Russia’s financial infrastructure.
Since that suspension, the Bank of Russia has set the official ruble rates for the dollar and euro using commercial bank data. The central bank’s methodology is based on the results of over-the-counter interbank foreign exchange transactions.
A dollar-backed investment and the US government might decide to just keep your capital, same with the crooked EU, but not so the ruble. People and institutions always understood they can lose money on investments, but to have their money just taken by the issuing government? No, never.
Stupidest idea ever for anyone claiming capitalist ideals.
Maybe we should exchange dollars for Rubles. The dollar is fiat monopoly money.

they are to get today I doubt + would dissuade
the poor . the rich are more clever not to be robbed
by state or criminals .
Russia is an awakening giant. Martin Armstrong used it as an example of a country that has a relatively unproductive population which makes its currency less valuable even though it has immense resources. However, as proven by its military inventions, perhaps Martin has underestimated its population’s abilities to compete worldwide. Added to the fact that its population has been reduced by several large devastating wars, brought on by the West, given a more peaceful environment, Russia should flourish and achieve economic greatness.
