Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina clarified that the digital ruble will indeed be used for national financial control, but only to monitor 'state contract expenditures' for automated auditing. She refuted claims that the central bank aims to use the digital ruble to track individuals' daily payments, emphasizing that personal transactions using the digital ruble will have transparency similar to regular bank card transfers. Nabiullina promised that Russia will not force citizens to use or open digital ruble accounts and plans to allow more people to voluntarily explore the digital ruble's features starting in September.
