MOSCOW, Dec 27 (Reuters) - The Russian rouble is expected to keep changing hands for around 100 per U.S. dollar at the start of 2025 and gradually weaken to 108 towards the end of the year, a Reuters poll of 10 economists showed on Friday.
The rouble fell to its lowest level in about 2-1/2 years in November as the U.S. imposed new financial sanctions on Russia, but it has regained some ground since then after the central bank intervened to support it.
