“As of November 8, international reserves amounted to $ 541.1 billion, having decreased over the week by $ 1.8 billion, or 0.3%,” the regulator said in a statement.
It is noted that the reduction was due to a negative revaluation, partially offset by the purchase of foreign currency under the budget rule and the monetization of gold.
Earlier, the head of the Bank of Russia monetary policy department, Alexei Zabotkin, called the complete rejection of the dollar in international reserves wrong.
