Russian President imposes restrictions on the export of rubles and gold from the country

On March 25 of this year, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on restricting the export of rubles and gold from Russia. According to the decree, starting from April 1, 2026, it is prohibited to export more than $ 100,000 in cash rubles to Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. In particular, individuals are required to confirm the origin of the funds with bank documents and fill out a declaration indicating the purpose for which they will be used abroad. Now, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities will be able to export cash rubles only through international airports in Russia. They are completely banned from exporting cash by train or car. The export of gold bars weighing more than 100 grams is also prohibited.
