    Solution

    India and Russia doubling their rupee-rouble payments has led to several outcomes, one of which is the easier convertibility of the rupee in Russia, resulting in a sixfold increase in corporate deposits since the beginning of the year. This is a direct result of the strengthened economic ties and increased financial transactions between the two countries. Additionally, Sberbank has reported an 80% increase in the number of transactions handled in the first half of 2024, indicating enhanced economic cooperation despite sanctions. The bilateral trade has also grown, reaching $65 billion, with significant exports from Russia to India in the energy sector. Contrary to some options, Chinese businesses have not increased their market share, and Indian businesses are encouraged to export to Russia to fill the gaps left by Western companies.
