Russia's foreign trade surplus in January-April rose to $106.5 billion

This is reported by TASS with reference to the materials of the Central Bank.

At the same time, the surplus of Russia's balance of payments account in January-April 2022 increased by 3.5 times, to $95.8 billion, the agency writes.

The Economist newspaper previously reported that Russia, against the backdrop of sanctions, reduced imports and maintaining exports at the same level, will be able to get a record trade surplus: Western restrictions do not interfere with the supply of oil and gas from Russia, while rising energy prices increased Russian incomes.

Minister of Economic Development of Russia Maxim Reshetnikov noted that the Russian economy demonstrates stability.
