As a result, the real effective exchange rate of the ruble started to grow again: while in August-September it practically stayed at the same level of 129.4 - 129.65, in October it has grown to 130.6 (see Fig. 3).

In October, downgrading of US dollar in the world currency market continued, provoking its further decline in the RF: by the end of the month the dollar rate was RUR 24.72.

According to the information of the Federal Treasury, payments under external debt in October of the current year have made USD 503.7 million. The amount of USD 475.6 million was addressed to external debt redemption and USD 28.1 million was paid for the services thereof. Herewith, USD 57.6 million was million was spent to cover the debt of Russia, 68.5 million for the World Bank and EBRD loans, USD 0.04 million for loans raised upon bonds and USD 377.6 million under intergovernmental agreements.

In November the information was disclosed on the RF Central Bank intention to make a break in the longterm cycle of the refinancing rate reduction. WeТd like to remind, that the refinancing rate is of great importance to the value of credits, provided to commercial banks by the Bank of Russia. The upgrading of refinancing rate is based on the inflation upsurge, happened in autumn of the current year, which provoked the refinancing rate reduction in real terms. With regard to the crisis in the world financial market and increased demand for credits, provided by the RF Central Bank, on the part of credit organizations, it is expected, that the upgrading of refinancing rate should restrain excessive borrowings by the banks and result in extended monetary offer, when the situation in the Russian inter-banking credit market get improved. It is worth noting that until recent time the refinancing rate provided practically no impact over the RF financial market due to the lack of demand for refinancing on the part of the Russian banking system.

To increase the liquidity volume, available to the Russian banks, the RF Central Bank has informed in December on the possibility of banksТ refinancing under a guarantee of corporate Eurobonds of prominent companies. Earlier the Central Bank guarantee list included only the RUR securities of the RF Ministry of Finance and Bank of Russia, some large banks and prominent Russian companies, the RF Subjects, as well as Russian Eurobonds. That measure will expand the range of assets, available to commercial banks in case of an aggravated situation in financial market.

In November the RF Central Bank representatives have informed on the plans to exchange the assets of the RF Stabilization Fund in the open market rather than trough the Bank of Russia inter-banking rate. That measure will, on the one hand, add to transparency of price formation in the currency market, while on the other hand, creates the risk of higher volatility of the RUR exchange rate.

As opposed to the stock market, there was noted a steady growth of investors' activity in the market of derivative financial instruments, namely in RTS.

The main reason for the weak activity in the debt market is explained by liquidity shortage. To mitigate the situation, the Central Bank has decided to open new refinancing opportunities: it has announced a session of the direct REPO operations with a fixed daily rate of 8 per cent, which will allow the banks to attract funds not only during the auctions, but throughout the day as well. Some strengthening of ruble against dollar could also back up the quotations of the Russian bonds, denominated in RUR.
