The proposed amendments directly establish a framework for digital ruble issuance and use in foreign trade settlements, which is core CBDC regulation and implementation.
The amendments explicitly enable cross-border payments using digital rubles for foreign trade participants receiving payments from non-residents, making cross-border payments a significant secondary dimension.
Specialism
While the update concerns payment infrastructure (digital ruble platform), it is primarily legislative/policy-focused on foreign trade settlement mechanisms rather than regulatory compliance obligations for payment firms.
The content addresses currency control mechanisms and reporting procedures for digital ruble transactions, but lacks specific compliance obligations or supervisory frameworks targeting payment service providers.

TITLE: Russia's Parliament Proposes Amendments to Enable Digital Ruble in Foreign Trade Settlements
BODY:
On May 19, 2026, Russian parliamentarians Anatoly Aksakov and Arkady Svistunov introduced amendments to the Federal Law on the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Federal Law No. 86-FZ of July 10, 2002) and the Federal Law on Currency Regulation and Currency Control (Federal Law No. 173-FZ of December 10, 2003).
The proposed amendments aim to facilitate foreign currency operations using digital rubles and establish an additional settlement method for participants in foreign trade activities. The legislation would permit foreign trade participants to receive payments from non-residents directly into digital ruble accounts rather than solely into traditional bank accounts. This applies to payments under foreign trade contracts, insurance payouts, and loan agreements. The amendments also establish currency control mechanisms for digital ruble operations, with authorised banks participating in the digital ruble platform functioning as currency control agents during debiting and crediting transactions. The legislation details the operational procedures between the platform operator and participating banks. Additionally, the amendments expand the powers of the Bank of Russia's Board of Directors, enabling it to determine which users may access the digital ruble platform and specify permitted use cases for digital rubles in foreign currency operations. The legislation designates that authorized banks serving as platform participants will perform currency control functions when digital currency is debited or credited. The bill provides detailed provisions governing interaction between the platform operator and banks during these transactions.
If adopted, the law will enter into force 180 days after its official publication. The full text of bill No. 1236943-8 and accompanying materials are available on the official website of the State Duma.
