Russian Railways Misses Bond Payment

 

  • Since the start of the Ukrainian conflict, Western banks and other financial intermediaries have been blocking bond payments while they investigate the legal implications of the sanctions, effectively shutting Russian borrowers out of the global financial system.
  • Due to payment complications, Russian companies missed deadlines, according to a CDS panel, and a failure-to-pay credit event occurred on Monday.
  • After failing to make a bond interest payment, Russian Railways JSC was declared in default by a derivatives panel. According to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee, a failure-to-pay credit event occurred when a coupon due on March 14 did not reach investors by the end of a 10-day grace period.
  • The first such decision since Russia was slapped with extensive sanctions that complicated financial transactions; • The decision may set a precedent for the Russian government and local companies in a similar situation.
  • Last month, state-claimed Russian Railways endeavored to pay the bond coupon, however it couldn’t arrive at holders because of “legitimate and administrative consistence commitments inside the reporter banking organization.”
  • The committee’s decision will trigger contracts insuring the company’s debt against default, and holders will now wait to see how much will be paid. The ruling has no immediate impact on bond investors, who have not requested immediate repayment of their holdings.
  • Russia’s Finance Ministry has accused the United States and others of attempting to force it into a default on its international debt, which would be the first in more than a century. Last week, the country was forced to pay two dollar bonds in rubles in order to meet its debt

Sri Lanka is running out of gasoline

  Sri Lanka’s newly appointed prime minister has stated that the cash-strapped island nation has run out of petrol, and that the country urgently needs $75 million in foreign exchange in the coming days to pay for essential imports such as medicine.  He also stated that the government was unable to raise funds to pay for three oil shipments, with the ships awaiting payment outside the Colombo harbor before discharging their cargoes.  ” The following couple of months will be the most irksome this country has anytime defied.” Obviously, this affects all aspects of life, not just the industrial and manufacturing sectors, but also daily life, children going to school, and every other aspect you can think of.  “People did not have a clear picture of how bad things were so far.” Reassurances from successive politicians did not help because people had a false sense of optimism that everything would be fine.  Read More... forex trading strategies #edgefore...
