MOSCOW, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Russia has suspended its monthly operations to buy and sell foreign currency and gold on the domestic market until July 1, 2026, according to a statement published on the Russian Ministry of Finance website on Monday.

It added that once operations resume, specific procedures will be determined, taking into account the volume of deferred purchases and sales of foreign currency and gold accumulated since March.
