Russia's reserves rose in the week to March 27 at the fastest pace in about one to one-and-a-half years, adding $7.9 billion due to swings in the value of its currency holdings and to reduced demand for dollars from Russian banks.
Central Bank data showed on Thursday that its foreign currency and gold reserves rose to $360.8 billion.
The bank said in a statement that the rise was because of "a significant positive exchange-rate revaluation and a positive balance of foreign-currency operations with local banks".
The euro strengthened against the dollar in the week to March 27, increasing the dollar value of assets the Central Bank holds in euros, which account for around 40 percent of the currency reserves.
The price of gold, of which the Central Bank has approximately $45 billion, also rose that week.
The Central Bank also took in more foreign currency than it gave out via its forex repo and swap operations, boosting the reserves and showing that banks were no longer experiencing an acute foreign-currency shortage or panicking about an imminent slide in the ruble.
Russia's reserves dropped to an almost eight-year low in mid-March after dropping sharply in the second half of 2014, when the Central Bank stepped up its market interventions to defend the Russian currency.
Since then, the bank has stopped selling currency from its reserves to support the ruble, instead relying on its forex repo and swap operations to manage forex liquidity.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
