Nikkei Asia reported that Russia's Ministry of Finance said it will issue RMB10 billion (approximately USD1.47 billion) of sovereign bonds on Wed (3rd), underscoring Moscow's increasing shift toward raising funds in Chinese currency rather than the US dollar to offset the impact of sanctions.

The new bonds can be purchased in RMB or rubles, with a maturity of 10 years and a coupon rate of 7.65%. US sanctions on the Moscow Exchange have made it more complicated for overseas buyers to purchase the bonds. The issuance follows the Ministry of Finance's first RMB-denominated bond sale last December, when two tranches with three-year and seven-year maturities were issued, totaling RMB20 billion.

The bonds to be issued this week carry a longer tenor. The move appears aimed at meeting demand from Russian companies, which typically settle payments in RMB, as well as domestic investors seeking long-term foreign currency investments.

As the war in Ukraine continues, Russia's public finances are under pressure. The Ministry of Finance reported that in the first four months of this year, Russia recorded a fiscal deficit of about RUB5.8 trillion (approximately USD80.6 billion), exceeding the full-year 2026 budget deficit forecast of RUB3.7 trillion. Russia already raised value-added tax by 2 ppts in January. With Western financial sanctions making overseas financing more difficult, officials are attempting to cover war-related expenditures through tax increases and sovereign bond issuance. (da/u)~
