What is the concept of a digital ruble? What are its role and place in today’s monetary system? How can it help individuals, businesses, and society in general? What aspects are to be taken into consideration in the course of its implementation? A digital ruble will remain the Russian ruble which will be issued by the Bank of Russia in digital form in addition to the existing forms of money. Individuals will be able to transfer digital rubles to their electronic wallets and use them through their mobile and other devices both online and offline (that is without access to the Internet and mobile communication). A digital ruble will be an additional form of money and will be used alongside individuals’ and businesses’ cash rubles and funds in their commercial bank accounts. Depending on their needs, individuals and companies will be able to exchange their money from one form to another, i.e. from the digital form to cash or noncash funds in their bank accounts, and back. This requires special-purpose technologies that would enable the offline usage of a digital ruble. A digital ruble will combine the advantages of both cash and non-cash money.
