Central Bank Gold, Forex Reserves $10.8B MOSCOW, Apr. 22, 1999 -- (Reuters) Russian gold and foreign currency reserves were $10.8 billion on April 16, unchanged from a week earlier, the central bank said in a statement issued on Thursday. The reserves figure also includes gold reserves, which the central bank's precious metals chief said last month were 520 tonnes. Russian central bank chairman Viktor Gerashchenko said earlier this month the bank would have to dig into its depleted coffers to help the government to make foreign debt payments in the second quarter. Russia owes around half a billion dollars in Eurobond payments, and $1.6 billion on dollar-denominated MinFin bonds, and must make major payments to the International Monetary Fund and other foreign creditors this year. russiatoday.com
