Deputy Nabiullina spoke about buying clothes for digital rubles

Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank (CB) of the Russian Federation Zulfiya Kakhrumanova said that since July she has been receiving her salary in digital rubles and “on the very first day I bought myself clothes” using this form of national currency. Her words are quoted by KP.RU.

“In principle, I try to pay with them everywhere now. If at first they were surprised at the checkout and said that they needed to check, now they answer: “Yes, of course,” shared the deputy chairman of the Central Bank.

Kakhrumanova clarified that she opened a digital ruble account during the pilot period and “carried out operations where possible.” She called receiving a salary in digital rubles an interesting experience.

Earlier, the first deputy head of the department, Irina Okladnikova, announced that the leadership of the Ministry of Finance - Anton Siluanov’s deputies, as well as department directors - will begin receiving salaries in digital rubles from October.
