I can’t get into this one (not even the Google link approach), but what we see above is enough – leaving aside the fact that it’s a different currency, the figure is interestingly close to the amount of cash the treasury printed a few years ago (still a lot of money, even in those US dollar thingies…)
What would be interesting to know is when this Russian money flowed in and what they are selling in order to withdraw it – if it’s property, then why haven’t we seen a London crash already (it would be 35,600 £10m houses – I think someone would have noticed…)
