MOSCOW: Russia's central bank on Wednesday raised its estimate for a structural liquidity surplus in the banking sector to between 0.9 trillion roubles and 1.4 trillion roubles ($15.1 billion to $23.5 billion) for the end of 2017 from an earlier forecast of 0.5-1.0 trillion rouble made in May.
Purchases of OFZ treasury bonds by non-residents increased 27 percent in May compared to April, the bank also said in a monthly report on the banking sector and financial markets.
