Aug 12 (Reuters) - Trading volumes in the rouble-yuan pair are close to those in rouble-euro on the Moscow Exchange, Russian central bank deputy governor Alexei Zabotkin told reporters on Friday, as Moscow promotes trade with so-called "friendly" countries.
He added that discussions on reinstating the budget rule are still ongoing and that Russia is considering buying the currencies of countries that did not join sanctions against it such as China, India and Turkey, to hold in its National Wealth Fund. (Reporting by Reuters)
