Abstract

        The purpose of this article is to investigate the use of geopolitics as a strategic asset for hedging against the ruble. It proposes that Russians should acquire and maintain real estate investment assets, such as guaranteed rental and income sources, to maintain the ruble's value and stability in the face of geopolitical pressures. The baht, which has strengthened as a result of the Bank of Thailand's inflation-targeting policy, is one of the most dependable currencies in the world.
