MOSCOW, January 13. /TASS/. Russia’s international reserves increased by $11.3 bln in one week and reached a record high of $763.9 bln as of December 26, 2025, the Central Bank reported.

"International reserves amounted to $763.9 bln as of the end of the day on December 26, 2025, having increased by $11.3 bln, or by 1.5%, in one week mainly due to positive revaluation," the regulator said.

Russia’s international reserves are highly liquid foreign assets available with the Bank of Russia and the Russian government. They comprise foreign currency, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), a reserve position in the International Monetary Fund and monetary gold. Following the onset of Moscow’s special military operation in Ukraine Western countries slapped sanctions against the Bank of Russia. Apart from freezing Russia’s gold and foreign currency reserves, all transactions related to management of the regulator’s reserves and assets, as well as transactions with any legal entity, organization or body acting on behalf or at the direction of the Central Bank, were prohibited.
