Russia’s Central Bank has issued a tender for the provision of firearms training for its employees, indicating a potential shift in the bank’s approach to security protocols. The tender, posted this week, outlines the requirement for contracted services to provide shooting lessons with automatic weapons at licensed ranges located in or near Moscow. This move has raised questions about the rationale behind the decision and its implications for the bank’s operations.
The exact reasons for the Central Bank’s decision to implement firearms training for its employees remain unclear. While the bank has not provided official justifications, industry observers suggest that the move could be a response to heightened security concerns in the region. The Central Bank’s involvement in such measures may signal a broader trend among state institutions to enhance internal security protocols in light of ongoing geopolitical tensions.
