The new corridor extends from 34.40 to 41.40 roubles to the central bank's dollar-euro currency basket as of Feb.4, compared to 34.30-41.30 previously.
Under its managed float, the central bank increases its interventions as the rouble approaches the boundary of the corridor. Once an intervention allotment of $350 million is exhausted it automatically shifts the corridor.
The rouble was trading at 40.60 against the basket at 0610 GMT.
