De ce își vinde Rusia aurul?
In the past year, Russia has become a major gold seller to address budget deficits, selling significant reserves. The Central Bank reported a decrease in gold reserves, now at their lowest since before the Ukraine invasion. Despite this, analysts suggest the sales are not indicative of an impending financial crisis. Russia's defense spending has surged, contributing to budget pressures, but rising oil and gas revenues have helped mitigate these challenges. Experts believe Russia can continue funding its war efforts in the near future, although long-term economic distortions may arise.
