Speaking about the outflow of capital, the official explained that "the money remained in place, just many transferred it to dollars and euros," according to him, this is most of the so -called outflow of capital.

“If you look at the statistics, how many depositors in banks with state participation have recently left the ruble to currency, then you will see that this is a majority of the so -called outflow of capital,” he said.

The first time, Schuvalov resembles, such a choice was in front of Vladimir Putin at the end of 2008. Then it cost the state about 100 billion dollars of reserves, but allowed to maintain savings in citizens and avoid panic.
