MOSCOW, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Russia's current account
surplus shrank to $8 billion in January from $19.0 billion in
the same month last year, the central bank said on Thursday.
Russia's current account surplus hit a record high in 2022,
as a fall in imports and robust oil and gas exports kept foreign
money flowing in despite Western efforts to isolate the Russian
economy over the conflict in Ukraine.
