DNR Finance Minister Yekaterina Matyushchenko stated that prices, tariffs, and budgetary payments in the DNR would be base-priced in Roubles, according to a DNR Council of Ministers decision, which came into force on 1 September, saying:
The sole approved accounting unit is the Russian Rouble. The Rouble is the sole mandatory exchange unit for calculating prices, tariffs, and payments from the budget. The share of the Rouble in DNR transactions now stands at 92 percent and the Grivnya at 8 percent.
The decree “On introducing amendments to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers on 18 March 2015 № 4-11 ’On the order of use of currencies in the DNR’” ordered a transition from a fixed 2:1 Rouble/Grivnya exchange rate to a floating rate. The DNR authorities introduced a multi-currency régime to counteract the Kiev junta blockade, to stabilise the economic situation. According to DNR Chairman of the Government A V Zakharchenko, “We needed to do this, to transition the financial market to a multi-currency system”.
