Russian Current Account Surplus Falls By 58.2% in January 2023
Despite still high energy prices, Bank of Russia estimates that the Russian current account dropped to US$9bn in January 2023 from US$19.1bn a year ago. This significant reduction of 58% YoY was mainly caused by a decrease in the value of exported goods. This can only be explained by much lower exported units.
