The Bank of Russia has announced a change in the publication date for its monthly estimate of Russia's Balance of Payments. The new schedule stipulates that the estimate will be released on the 45th calendar day following the end of the reporting period. This adjustment aims to accommodate a larger data set necessary for compiling these estimates.
This change aligns with international practices regarding the publication of monthly external sector statistics and information on Russia's external trade. Under this revised timetable, the updated estimate for April 2025 will be available on June 16, 2025, while the first estimate for May 2025 is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.
