MOSCOW, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Russians' deposits with
non-resident banks increased around 2.5 times between January
and November last year to almost 5 trillion roubles, around $82
billion according to the exchange rate at the time, the central
bank said on Wednesday.
The bank said this did not mean that foreign currency
deposits were necessarily flowing from Russian banks to foreign
ones, however, as some deposits were converted into roubles or
used to buy real estate.
