The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation paid NSD the proceeds from coupons on Eurobonds with maturities of 26 and 36 years

May 29 (Reuters) – The Russian Finance Ministry said on Monday it had fully met its obligations to pay coupon income on Eurobonds maturing in 2026 and 2036 by transferring funds to the accounts of the National Settlement Depository (NSD), which acts as an agent clearing house for Eurobonds.

Bonds maturing in 2026 (ISIN: RU000A0JWHB2, RU000A0JWHA4) paid 5.7 billion rubles (equivalent to USD 71.3 million), maturing in 2036 – 2.3 billion rubles (equivalent to EUR 26.5 million).

Russia is servicing its foreign debt in rubles because Western sanctions prevent payments in dollars and euros. (Daria Korsunska)
