This relationship is especially evident if the government accumulates a considerable amount of money in its accounts with the central bank. The article analyzes the impact of the formation and spending of the Reserve Fund and the National Wealth Fund on the monetary policy of the Bank of Russia. This effect is considered from the point of view of the current economic crisis and the need to spend resources accumulated in sovereign wealth funds.
