MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Foreign investors have purchased about 75 percent of Russia's Eurobond issue worth $1.3 billion, a source in the banking industry said Tuesday.
According to the source, there were European, Asian and US investors among the buyers.
Another Russian banking industry source told RIA Novosti earlier on Tuesday that Russia was placing $1.75 billion in 10-year Eurobonds offering a yield of 4.75 percent in its first sovereign debt offering since the Ukraine crisis broke out in 2014.
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.
