The ruble between the hammer and the anvil: The impact of oil prices and economic sanctions

چکیده
587 The Russian economy is tightly woven into the global economy, and is therefore highly dependent on the development of exchange rates. Since 2014, the ruble has fallen by more than 50 percent against the U.S. dollar. The devaluation goes hand in hand with the Western sanctions that were imposed due to the political tensions between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, the decline in oil prices may also have contributed to the ruble’s depreciation. The study at hand examines the relative importance of the different factors influencing the ruble’s exchange rate. It turns out that the devaluation is mostly due to the falling oil prices, while the sanctions are playing a rather subordinate role. EXCHANGE RATE OF RUBLE AND OIL PRICE
