Russia | Record Bank Withdrawals as Surveillance and Account Freezes Surge
Russian residents withdrew over 1.6 trillion rubles ($19.7 billion) from banks in January, mainly due to declining trust in the state-controlled financial system. This exodus follows a significant change in banking oversight, as the central bank doubled the number of suspicious activity indicators, the digital signals that automatically trigger account freezes. Allegedly aimed at preventing fraud, these new criteria temporarily blocked as many as three million bank accounts and cards in early January. To tighten its grip, the Interior Ministry proposed capping cash withdrawals at 50,000 rubles ($615) for flagged accounts, while a $10,000 lifetime limit on foreign currency withdrawals was recently extended through Sept. 9. All these regulations reinforce the digital limitations on Russian savers, making physical cash one of their few remaining protections against state overreach. FinancialFreedomReport.org
