10:22; 16 July 2026 year

### Ruble Strengthens Marginally on Interbank Market The ruble is strengthening within 0.3% against major currency pairs on the interbank market. On Thursday, the CNY/RUB pair is trading at 11.44 rubles per Chinese yuan. The USD/RUB pair is trading at 77.58 rubles per U.S. dollar. It is worth noting that the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) will set official exchange rates for foreign currencies against the ruble based on consolidated data from both exchange and over-the-counter segments of the foreign exchange market starting from December 27, 2024. This change, outlined in CBR Regulation No. 6956-U, is intended to enhance the representativeness of official rates amid the growing volume of over-the-counter transactions. Starting from June 8, 2026, the CBR revised the calculation of the official euro-ruble exchange rate. Instead of using direct euro-ruble quotes, the bank now calculates it via a cross-rate using data from the European Central Bank (ECB). The new methodology follows the formula: EUR/RUB = USD/RUB × EUR/USD (based on ECB data). This overview was presented by Alexei Grishchenko, Doctor of Economics, Professor at the Department of Operational and Sectoral Management of the "Higher School of Management" Faculty at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
