<p>Interfax, a state-owned news agency, <a href="https://www.interfax.ru/business/902543" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.interfax.ru/business/902543" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on the recommendations put forward by the committee on the financial market of the State Duma (Duma), which is responsible for preparing the digital ruble bill for its second reading.</p>



<p>Among the proposed amendments is a prohibition on the Bank of Russia&#8217;s participation in financing companies. </p>



<p>Instead, the <a href="https://crypto.news/russia-central-bank-amendment-digital-assets-law-tokenization-platforms/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/russia-central-bank-amendment-digital-assets-law-tokenization-platforms/">central bank</a> would solely operate the digital ruble platform. Additionally, the amendments would require the central bank to protect the private data of customers employed by the federal security service.</p>



<p>The new draft also seeks to facilitate easier access to the central bank digital currency (<a href="https://crypto.news/ripple-launches-cbdc-and-stablecoin-issuance-platform/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/ripple-launches-cbdc-and-stablecoin-issuance-platform/">CBDC</a>) platform for non-residents through foreign banks. These foreign banks would be permitted to join the platform, with non-residents facing no usage limitations.</p>

<p>Currently, the bill allows enforcement agencies to withdraw debtors&#8217; funds without restrictions if the debtors hold sufficient digital rubles. </p>



<p>However, the Duma&#8217;s legal department has expressed opposition to this provision, citing national laws that restrict the withdrawal of debtors&#8217; funds beyond the minimum wage level, which amounts to approximately $195 per month.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://sozd.duma.gov.ru/bill/270838-8" target="_blank" data-type="URL" data-id="https://sozd.duma.gov.ru/bill/270838-8" rel="noreferrer noopener">digital ruble bill</a>, known as bill number 270838-8, passed its first reading in March. Initial plans aimed to enact the bill into law by April to launch a CBDC pilot. </p>

<p>However, the ongoing discussions surrounding the bill have led to a delay in the deadline. Interfax reports that subsequent readings of the bill are expected to take place by the end of July.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, Belarus, a neighboring country, has developed a pilot program for its own CBDC. The chairman of the national bank has stated that a decision regarding the issuance of a digital Belarussian ruble will be made by year-end.</p>
