OREANDA-NEWS  The key advantage of the digital ruble is instant payments between the platforms of the central banks of Russia and partner countries, said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, LDPR MP Kaplan Panes.

"Unlike traditional transfers that go through a chain of foreign correspondent banks, the digital currency allows payments to be made directly between the platforms of the central banks of Russia and partner countries. The key advantage is the instantaneous calculations. Payments are carried out in real time without delays, which previously could last for several days or even weeks," the parliamentarian told the Internet portal. NEWS.ru .
