MOSCOW. Nov 11 (Interfax) - The Central Bank of Russia has stopped disclosing data on the foreign currency operations of major exporters.

In April 2026, the CBR stopped publishing this data in its financial market risk review, leaving it only as reference material in the statistical appendix to that document. Now this information is absent from the appendix as well.

The Central Bank continuously improves the methodology for calculating various indicators so that they are as current and relevant as possible, the bank said.

"Currently, a significant share of exporters' operations is carried out through third-party organizations. Data on their own operations alone therefore does not reflect the full picture. The most complete data are shown in the chart with net sales by non-financial companies. The chart is provided in the text of the review, and data are also published in Excel format," the CBR's press service told Interfax.

The CBR explained the replacement of the indicator on foreign currency sales by major exporters with the indicator on operations of non-financial companies this spring in the financial market risk review in terms of an increase in the "representativeness and completeness of the picture."
