Russia to push ahead with bond issuance amid US warnings
February 26, 2016 9:44 am
Despite warnings from the US government, Russia is going to push through with plans to sell its first sovereign bond.
The American government warned banks obtaining Russian bonds would undermine the sanctions on the European country, saying the bonds are profitable yet risky investment.
The move comes after Europe and the United States imposed economic sanctions on the country following its annexation of Crimea in 2014. Russia’s budget is under extensive pressure on slumping oil prices and the effect of sanctions.
The country is finding ways to access its capital market and taking advantage of divisions in the European Union over failure to resolve Syrian conflict, which has aggravated tensions between the nation and the US.
Russia invited American, Chinese, and European banks to bid for its first bond and asked them to send a request for proposal.
