00:00 The chairman of Russian VTV bank, Andrei Kastin, denounced with President Vladimir Putin the
00:07 real-world test launch of new digital rubble across 13 banks.
00:12 The system, which would allow international transactions in national currencies, is mostly
00:17 being tested in Asian countries, which, according to Kastin, are friendly to Russia today.
00:25 The digital rubble is being launched under the leadership of the central bank.
00:29 Thirteen banks are participating in this.
00:31 This is, although not an experiment, this is, in general, the introduction of the digital
00:36 rubble into practice.
00:37 We know that there is a digital yuan.
00:39 We are also working on this basis.
00:41 Therefore, I think that this and next year we will see much a rapid transition to settlements
00:46 in national currencies in the countries of the so-called global South, that is, in the
00:51 developing states, the states that are friendly to us today.
