Эволюция российского валютного рынка прошла несколько этапов. До конца 80-х годов в СССР существовала государственная монополия на внешнюю торговлю и совершение валютных операций. Валютного рынка в тот период не было. Вся валюта концентрировалась в одних руках и распределялась из единого центра по использующим ее ведомствам в соответствии с валютным планом. Население было лишено права иметь валюту (за исключением особых случаев) и совершать валютные операции. Последние считались уголовными преступлениями и жестоко карались. Биржа ММВБ С 1989 г. стали проводиться аукционные продажи валюты, а в августе 1990 г. началось формирование общесоюзного валютного рынка. В1992 г. открылась первая валютная биржа России – Московская межбанковская…
