The Russian Financial Monitoring Service will assume control of cash transfers via ATM terminals. The maximum anonymous money transfer can be limited to 3 000 rubles. The transfer of larger sums will require bank transactions and passports, including costly purchases through the Internet. In 2010, Russians bought one billion dollars worth of goods on-line. An ever greater number of countries are introducing restrictions on payments via ATMs due to the fact that their anonymity might encourage criminals.

Now they comprise close to 110 million rubles and we are taking additional measures to further decrease them,” he said, adding unemployment in the region dropped from 3.7 to 2.4 percent last year. As for industrial production index, Belykh said the processing industries are performing better than in Russia on average. The index exceeds 109 percent while the average Russian figure is 108 percent. Housing construction upped seven percent in the region last year while Russia reported an insignificant fall in general, according to Belykh.
