Moscow--Russia is unlikely to introduce capital controls any
time soon, although it can't be ruled out as an option, Andrei
Kosyon, the chief executive of VTB Group said Wednesday.
"I don't exclude it in principle, but the issue is not discussed
now", he said on the sidelines on an investment conference in
Moscow.
Russia's central bank and finance ministry both denied a
Bloomberg report Tuesday that the Kremlin is considering capital
controls if the rate of outflows intensifies.
