Methods. The study draws on the theoretical analysis of current scientific publications, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, our own methodology for calculating the change in the money supply during the issue of the digital ruble. Results. We offered our own methodology for calculating the change in money supply, taking into account the impact of the digital ruble issue. The paper considers the influence of digital emission on the Russian economy and the policy of the Central Bank. Conclusions. The findings enable to conclude on the growth of the Central Bank's power, possibility of increasing the country's financial independence, tightening control over fiscal policy, strengthening the interdependence of fiscal and monetary policies.
