Vneshekonombank pulled a sale of dollar bonds because of adverse market conditions, according a person with knowledge of the sale.
The lender planned to issue five-year bonds that may have been priced to yield about 5.63 percent. BNP Paribas, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Scotland Group were hired to manage the sale.
VEB plans to continue with the deal once markets have stabilized, the person said Tuesday. The bank plans to sell as much as $3 billion of three-year domestic dollar bonds in five transactions, VEB said in regulatory filings on Oct. 20.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
