MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on Monday said the central bank was a little late with its decision to abolish the floating corridor and allow the rouble to float.
Siluanov also said his ministry would start holding forex deposit auctions with about $1 billion on offer on Nov. 17, and aim at some $3 billion (1.88 billion pounds) or more by the end of the year.
