Russia limits size of money transfers to Kazakhstan, too

AKIPRESS.COM - Russian Central Bank limited the size of money transfers to Kazakhstan, too, in the amount of no more than 150,000 rubles per month.
According to Vedomosti news agency, Russia introduced limits on money transfers to Vietnam, China, Kyrgyzstan (up to 100,000 rubles per month) and Kazakhstan.
The move is aimed to fight against shadow operations, including the unregistered businessmen. A source told Vedomosti that foreigners trading in the markets of Russia use money transfer systems to pay for the goods without registration as private entrepreneurs not as legal entities.
Kyrgyzstan is the second biggest receiver of money transferred from Russia after Uzbekistan. China is the 4th, Kazakhstan - 7th, and Vietnam - 12th.
