Russian banks look to restructure debt
Article Abstract:
Several banks in Russia are negotiating to restructure their debts to foreign creditors after the termination of the 30-day moratorium that shielded them financially. The moratorium was intended to protect the banks from the requirement to repay billions of dollars in foreign debt and to help them recover from financial difficulties at the decline of the stock and bond markets. However, most Russian banks are still not financially viable to meet their foreign obligations and they are currently scrambling to create deals with creditors on $5 billion in loans and $3.5 billion or more in debts on currency-forward contracts.
