“The holders of the Russian public debt are, among other things, American investors.
In this case, their rights are also violated.
We cannot influence the decisions of financial intermediaries.
From a legal and economic point of view, there is no default.
These are politically motivated steps - to try to declare a default, despite the fact that the country has every opportunity to repay its obligations, ”the specialist emphasized.
According to Ginko, such publications can be regarded as an attempt "to hurt the investment image of Russia."
“For us, nothing changes at all,” concluded the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier, Bloomberg wrote that Russia is “hours away” from defaulting on its external debt due to restrictions imposed by Western countries.
The agency noted that the situation with Russian bonds is developing according to a unique scenario, when the borrower has the funds and the desire to pay, but cannot do this due to sanctions.
On June 27, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, stressed that statements about a default in Russia were unlawful, since the payment for obligations was made in May.
According to Peskov, Euroclear withheld and did not bring the funds to the recipients, which is not a “problem” for Russia.
