CURRENCY REGULATIONS RELAXED.

New regulations have been approved by the Russian government that will allow individuals and companies, both resident and non-resident, to conduct a range of currency operations for which special permission from Russia’s Central Bank used to be required. These include transferring money abroad to pay insurance premiums, alimony, journal subscriptions, medical and education fees, and for the purchase of property abroad. (Interfax, May 27)
