Rusia în război: Impozite mai mari și incertitudine / S-a revenit revine la plățile în numerar / „Un moment foarte îngrijorător”

In Russia, rising taxes are pushing small and medium enterprises towards cash payments, supported by the Central Bank's cash injection. This shift marks a return to cash usage, reversing years of digitalization. The trend is fueled by internet disruptions and distrust in the banking system, with 15% of Russians now preferring to keep savings in cash.

The situation reflects a worrying trend of businesses paying salaries off the books, highlighting economic instability.
