Russia's Finance Ministry sold 13 billion rubles ($210 million) of OFZ treasury bonds at auction on Wednesday at an average yield of 13.49 percent.
The ministry sold 13 billion rubles of OFZ bonds maturing in January 2020 out of 15 billion rubles on offer.
Russia has seen better demand for its treasury bonds in recent weeks after having to cancel many auctions last year because of market turbulence linked to the Ukraine crisis.
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.
