MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The placement, managed by Russia's VTB capital, was scheduled for Monday, but the bond sale was extended to Tuesday to attract more investors from Asia.
"Russia has successfully placed 10-year Eurobonds worth $1.75 billion at the annual yield of 4.75 percent. The demand has reached some $7 billion. Over 70 percent of the issue have been bought by foreign investors, as we expected," Siluanov told reporters in Moscow.
"Despite the attempts to stop the investors from buying Russian bonds, the volume and quality of bids we at a good level. We are satisfied with the placement," Siluanov said.
