Russia’s ruble opened 2019 at a three year low against the dollar before paring losses at below 70 rubles.

In 2018, the Russian currency lost 21.1% of its value against the dollar and 15.5% versus the euro.

The central bank let the ruble float freely in 2014 after unsuccessfully burning through substantial foreign currency reserves in a doomed effort to buttress its value.

A monthly Reuters poll predicted that in 2019 the ruble would stand at 66.85 versus the dollar and at 76.50 against the euro.
