Russia to Raise Gold Share in Reserves, Eyes Adding Yuan, Ulyukayev Says

``"We’ve increased our investment in gold during the last several years and we will continue to move in the same direction in the future," he said in an interview in London. "Gold is a natural part of reserves." Russia, which aims to diversify its reserves, started adding the Canadian dollar and plans to invest in the Australian dollar. The central bank has almost doubled the share of gold in the past three or four years, according to Ulyukayev. The stockpile comprises 47 percent U.S. dollars, 41 percent euros, 9 percent British pounds, 2 percent Japanese yen and 1 percent Canadian dollars, according to the central bank. ''
