MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia's dominant lender Sberbank on Friday reported an 11.3% rise in first-quarter net profit to 397.4 billion roubles ($4.32 billion), boosted by growth in deposits and its loan portfolio.

The yuan's decline to the weak end of the permissible band underscores the heavy demand for dollars and rising depreciation pressures on the currency.
