The Bank of Russia purchased yuan worth $23.7 million on the domestic market, with settlement scheduled for September 29, according to a report by TASS.
The figure represents a decline from the previous settlement day, September 28, when the volume of foreign currency purchases on the domestic market amounted to $46.1 million.
The Bank of Russia's regular foreign currency operations are part of its broader mechanism for managing budget-related transactions and currency market operations, a practice that has continued amid Western sanctions restricting Russia's access to a number of major currencies.
The report did not provide additional context on the reasons behind the day-to-day change in purchase volumes or indicate expected volumes for coming settlement days.
Yuan trading has taken on greater significance in Russia's currency markets in recent years, as trade and financial ties with China have deepened following restrictions on Russia's access to dollar- and euro-denominated markets.
