The New Regulations Give The Bank Of Russia Great Powers And Support The Development Of The Necessary Payment Infrastructure For The Digital Ruble

A group of Russian lawmakers, led by the chairman of the Financial Market Committee Anatoly Aksakov, submitted a draft law on the digital ruble, a central bank digital currency (CBDC) issued by the Russian monetary authority. The document proposes legislative changes that are to create conditions for the implementation of the project.
According to the explanatory notes to the bill, cited by the RBC news portal, the main goal of the bill is to develop the necessary payment infrastructure for the digital ruble. Officials believe that this will provide Russian citizens, companies and the state with access to fast, convenient and cheap transfers.
The Act also aims to amend several existing provisions. For example, the law "On the national payment system" to which members of the Duma want to add definitions related to CBDC issues.
The new regulations give the Bank of Russia a lot of power and make it the sole operator of the CBDC platform. They also establish procedures for opening digital ruble wallets and accessing said platform.
The amendment to the Law "On Currency Regulation and Currency Control" secures the status of the digital ruble as the currency of the Russian Federation and defines CBDCs issued by central banks of other countries as foreign currencies.
In turn, amendments to the federal law "On Personal Data" allow the Russian Central Bank to process personal data without obtaining consent and without the need to notify the authority responsible for the protection of personal data rights in advance.
