MOSCOW, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Capital controls on certain Russian exporters that went into force last month may have the opposite of their intended effect in the long term, leading to a weaker and more volatile rouble, the Russian central bank said in a report on Tuesday. The rouble has strengthened from beyond 100 to the dollar since that decree was announced. The central bank's higher-than-expected hike in its main interest rate, to 15%, in late October has also helped. The bank also said in its report that it expected annual inflation to start coming down next spring due to Russians' increased savings and higher interest rates. Annual inflation in Russia is seen at 7.25% in the fourth quarter, compared to 6.00% in the third quarter, according to the bank's assessment.

"We have stated our position and it stands - we will be tough in letting foreign banks go, it will depend on the decision to unfreeze Russian assets," Moiseev said, speaking at a forum. Responding to questions about applications to sell assets, Moiseev said Austria's Raiffeisen Bank (RBIV.VI) had not made such a request. "I am aware of one foreign bank's application to sell assets ... which is under consideration by the government commission," he said.

Kudrin, who has been seen as both a pro-Western economic liberal and close ally of President Vladimir Putin throughout his career, would become the highest profile government official to leave a post since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February. "In total, I spent about 25 years in the public sector," Kudrin wrote on his Telegram channel. He served as a powerful finance minister for more than a decade between 2000 and 2011, and while maintaining close ties with Putin, Kudrin kept a relatively low profile in his current role as head of the Audit Chamber, Russia's public spending watchdog. In a late-night meeting last week, Kudrin and Putin discussed Yandex's future, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
