ALMATY, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's net gold and foreign

currency reserves fell to $26.4 billion as of Jan. 31 from $27.7

billion on Dec. 31, data published by the central bank on

Wednesday showed.

The Central Asian country's total international reserves

stood at $84.9 billion at the end of January, the bank said in a

statement. This total includes $58.5 billion in the National

Fund, which collects windfall revenues from oil exports.

After Russia, Kazakhstan is the largest former Soviet oil

producer. The country, Central Asia's largest economy, also

holds slightly over 3 percent of the world's recoverable crude

reserves.
