Katyrin has integrated the proposal as part of an attempt by the sanction-battered country to woo African countries to mitigate the effects of Kremlin’s actions.
The business executive has further proposed to the ministry that a special export-import bank and a trust fund be set up to promote imports to small businesses in Africa.
The announcement comes as some African countries attempt possible trade cooperation with Russia.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has hinted at plans to develop a national stablecoin atop the TON blockchain. The African states are turning to blockchain technology as a pillar to their economic structures.
