Against the backdrop of instability in the foreign exchange market, Russian residents are increasingly investing in gold. Deputy Minister of Finance Alexey Moiseev in an interview with TASS said that the demand for the precious metal remains high, while investors have become more active in buying large bars – weighing up to 12 kg.
Experts note that gold continues to be a reliable way to save savings. If previously private investors preferred bars of 50-100 grams, now there is growing interest in larger formats – kilogram and even 12-kilogram. This is due to the desire to protect capital in conditions of economic uncertainty.
Moiseev also raised the issue of illegal export of precious metal. Despite currency restrictions, some citizens are trying to transport gold through the EAEU countries. The Ministry of Finance, together with Rosfinmonitoring and the Federal Customs Service, is developing measures to strengthen control over these operations.
The official denied rumors about the possible introduction of a tax on excess profits of companies. gold miners. According to him, such initiatives are not discussed, and the department does not have relevant information.
The current situation confirms that gold remains a key instrument for investors. Its popularity is growing not only among individuals, but also attracts the attention of regulators, which may affect further regulation of the market.
