The current account surplus of the balance of payments of the Russian Federation in January–October 2025 amounted to $37.1 billion, having decreased by 29.6% due to a decrease in the trade surplus and an increase in the deficit of the balance of services with a steady deficit of primary and secondary incomes. This is reported in the materials of the Bank of Russia.
The surplus of the balance of foreign trade in goods decreased to $101.5 billion in 10 months from $109.6 billion in January–October 2024: exports of goods decreased more significantly compared to imports.
The slowdown in the growth of foreign assets (excluding reserve assets) to $35.4 billion from $52.1 billion a year ago is attributed by the regulator, among other things, to the repayment of non-residents' outstanding international settlements.
External liabilities decreased by $2.6 billion after an increase of $2.9 billion in January–October 2024. The main reason was the repayment of residents' outstanding international settlements.
