MOSCOW – The Russian central bank on Friday said it was raising the limit at a “fine-tuning” repo auction later on Friday to 3 trillion roubles ($35.55 billion) from 2 trillion roubles, as it works to maintain stability on financial markets.

The central bank beefed up the banking sector with extra liquidity and started to sell foreign currency on the forex market after the rouble fell to all-time lows on Thursday after Moscow sent its troops into Ukraine.
