Nevertheless, one can not expect the net capital inflow into the country yet, as the external debt of the private sector in 2008 has reached nearly USD 500 billion, while a significant redemption under which (USD 136 billion) is due in 2009. The outflow of capital in February, has affected the reduction of the real effective exchange rate by 5.5 per cent. Индекс реального эффективного курса по итогам февраля составил 119,33 (см. рис. 3).

Herewith, Fig. 3. Indicators of RUR Exchange Rate Dynamics the demand of the banking in January 2005-February sector for foreign currency for speculative purposes was balanced by the tightening of credit policy by the Bank of Russia which has made the RUR liquidity more expensive.

Therefore, in February, the Central Bank of Russia was pursuing a consistent policy, as a result of which it has succeeded to reduce the devaluating expectations of economic agents and to stabilize the situation in the Russian financial market. In February, the Central Bank has significantly cut down the volume of ruble liquidity, provided to the banking sector, and expressed an intention to continue such decline. Moreover, in March it was officially stated, that the Regulator does not intend to support the basket at the level of RUR 39-40, and in the presence of appropriate macro-economic conditions, the RUR strengthening can be sustained. Such statements have further reduced the speculative expectations for the devaluation. Nevertheless, it is worth noting, that the sustained inflationary pressure on the ruble and the expectations for devaluation, which were still strong enough in the first half of the month, prevented the Bank of Russia to pursue the policy of interest rates downgrading in February, initiated a month earlier. Consideration of this matter was deferred by the Central bank at least until April 2009.
