Russia’s cenbank chief makes first appearance after unexplained public absence

MOSCOW, Feb 12 (Reuters) – Elvira Nabiullina, governor of Russia’s central bank, took part in a televised meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Monday, her first public showing since she cancelled a scheduled appearance almost a month ago.

Nabiullina, 60, has been out of the public eye for several weeks. Her cancellation of a scheduled appearance on Jan. 16 led the Kremlin to wish her health and strength after rumours that she was in hospital. No official body, including the Kremlin and central bank, confirmed that. (Reporting by Reuters; Writing by Alexander Marrow Editing by Gareth Jones)
