(Corrects to say comment was made on Thursday, not Friday)
MOSCOW, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank said on
Thursday that foreign currency sales during January had a
stabilising effect on Russia's FX markets and helped smooth
currency volatility.
Russia started sales of its foreign currency reserves after
a months-long hiatus in January to cover a budget deficit
triggered by falling oil and gas revenues.
