President Putin has signed a decree prohibiting the export of cash exceeding 1 million rubles (approximately $12,000) from Russia to neighboring countries. The Kremlin published the official text of the order on September 29, establishing new capital controls on cross-border currency movements. The restriction applies specifically to physical cash transfers destined for nations sharing borders with Russia. This measure introduces a hard cap on outbound cash flows as authorities tighten regulations on cross-border financial transactions amid ongoing economic sanctions and geopolitical tensions.
