Russian presidential adviser Sergei Glazyev proposed plan of 15 measures to protect country’s economy if sanctions applied, Vedomosti newspaper reports, citing Glazyev’s letter to Finance Ministry. According to as Bloomberg reported, Glazyev proposed:
- withdraw assets, accounts in dollars, euros from NATO countries to neutral ones
- sell NATO member sovereign bonds before Russia’s currency accounts are frozen
- reduce dollar assets, sell sovereign bonds of countries that support sanctions
- limit commercial banks’ FX assets to prevent speculation on ruble, capital outflows
- increase money supply so that state cos., banks may refinance foreign loans
- national currencies in trade with Union members, other non-dollar, non-euro partners
In other words, a full-blown scorched earth campaign by Russia.
