Russia to Register RUB 1.5tn of New Long-Maturity OFZ Bonds

RUSSIA
  • RUSSIA PLANS TO REGISTER RUB1.5T OF NEW LONG-MATURITY OFZ BONDS
  • Russia plans to register three new long-maturity bond programs of 500 billion rubles ($7 billion) apiece on Friday and will start offering the notes at auctions after U.S. sanctions come into effect
  • Placements of the new bonds will start from June 16 and the ministry will no longer offer OFZ bonds that were registered before June 14
  • "Thus, investors who need to clearly distinguish 'old' issues of OFZs from 'new' ones will have nothing to fear when buying these bonds,"
  • More new issues will follow with varying maturities; "Initially it will be fixed-coupon paper and, of course, we want to support sales of inflation-linked notes"
