On April 21 Russian gold and currency reserves amounted to $217.1 bln - $5.1 bln increase for a week.

Now Russia has approached to the South Korea – it is the forth in the list of the world leaders in the volume of the reserves (on March 31 - $217.34 bln), but its reserves increase slower than those of Russia. Experts predict that Russia will soon become the forth, yielding to China, Japan and Taiwan.
