Russia’s holdings of U.S. government securities fell to the lowest level since 2011 in February as tensions in Crimea escalated and the ruble weakened, Treasury Department data showed.
Russian holdings declined for a fourth straight month, to $126.2 billion, from $131.8 billion in January, according to figures released today in Washington as a part of a monthly report on foreign holders of Treasuries as well as international portfolio flows.
