Russia lent US $2.3 billion in a month

In June, Reuters reported that the US Federal Reserve was supplying US authorities with confidential information about funds from foreign central banks, including the Bank of Russia. Immediately after Washington imposed personal sanctions on Russian businessmen in March 2014, the Russian Central Bank withdrew $115 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

 

According to the Central Bank, Russia's total gold and foreign exchange reserves amounted to $423.3 billion as of mid-October.
