    The Central Bank's announcement is quite credible as the predicted future spot exchange rate is way below the announced rate of 40Rb/$

    Explanation:

    Uncovered interest parity says that the one year Future spot rate (F) is linked to the spot exchange rate (S) in the following manner

    F = S * (1 + ih) / (1+if)

    ih and if are the interest rates in home country (Russia) and Foreign country (USA)

    So, F = 30 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.05) = 31.43 Rb/$

    So, the Central Bank's announcement is quite credible as the predicted future spot exchange rate is way below the announced rate of 40Rb/$
