Sberbank Corporate & Investment Business (CIB), a subsidiary of Russia's top lender Sberbank, said Monday that it would open up to $2.2 billion in credit lines to Interros holding company, which manages assets of tycoon Vladimir Potanin.
Interros, which owns a stake in Russia's Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest nickel and palladium producer, will use the funds for refinancing and investment needs, Sberbank CIB and Interros said in a statement.
The credit lines will have a maturity period for up to five years.

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.
