Russian Central Bank will Intervene Only if Ruble Under Threat

Russia' central bank announced Monday that it would intervene to support the ruble only if there was a threat to the "financial stability" of the Russian currency, which has lost 10 percent of its value last week.

The Bank of Russia said in a statement it would allow the ruble to evolve freely in the market, and that it would only intervene in the currency exchange "in case a threat appears to financial stability."
