Russian Central Bank head Elvira Nabiullina said that the possibility of using swaps for investment project needed to be considered.

Increasing the volume of currency swaps with the yuan is not necessary, Russian Central Bank head Elvira Nabiullina said Saturday.

The current volumes stand at 150 billion yuan ($24 billion).
