Kremlin aide Belousov says rouble situation under control - Ifax

Kremlin economic aide Andrei Belousov said on Friday he was confident the central bank and the government were in control of the situation with the rouble, Interfax news agency reported.

Belousov's comments came after the central bank decided to halt daily purchases of foreign currency as the rouble tanked to its weakest level since early April 2016.
