Bank of Russia sets official exchange rates for late April and early May
The Bank of Russia has published official exchange rates for the US dollar, euro, and Chinese yuan for several dates spanning late April and early May 2026, according to TASS. The rates show mixed movements, with the dollar strengthening in some periods and weakening in others.
Coverage Comparison
All information comes from three TASS reports, each dated on consecutive business days. The reports are consistent in format and style, providing the official rates set by the central bank. There is no disagreement among the sources, though each covers a different date.
Key Figures
April 30, 2026 rates (announced on April 29):
Dollar: 74.8806 rubles, up 18.59 kopecks from the previous level.
Euro: 87.7771 rubles, up 18.43 kopecks.
Yuan: 10.9535 rubles, up 1.15 kopecks.
May 1–4, 2026 rates (announced on April 30):
Dollar: 74.8014 rubles, down 7.92 kopecks from the previous level.
Euro: 88.6429 rubles, up 86.58 kopecks.
Yuan: 10.9593 rubles, up 0.58 kopeck.
May 5, 2026 rates (announced on May 4):
Dollar: 75.4388 rubles, up 63.74 kopecks from the previous level.
Euro: 88.2651 rubles, down 37.78 kopecks.
Yuan: 11.0343 rubles, up 7.5 kopecks.
Interpretation
The dollar weakened slightly for the May 1–4 period, then strengthened notably for May 5. The euro saw a significant increase for May 1–4, followed by a decline for May 5. The yuan steadily appreciated across all three dates. These fluctuations reflect the central bank's periodic adjustments based on market conditions.
Context
The Bank of Russia sets official exchange rates daily, typically based on trading data from the Moscow Exchange. These rates are used for official purposes, including tax calculations and customs duties. The recent movements suggest ongoing volatility in global currency markets, though no specific drivers were mentioned in the TASS reports.
How this outlet told it
A framing line is our reading of that outlet's own text — an interpretation, not a quotation and not a fact we assert. Check it against what the outlet published.
AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
