The loan of Russia's Sberbank to Belaruskali company will be traded in the Belarusian exchange market as government bonds issued in foreign currency.
The Ministry of Finance of Belarus placed nine issues (VGDO 89-97) on the domestic market in December 2012 in the amount of $800 million, Interfax quotes the Republican Central Security Depositary (RCSD).
A $800m issue of VGDO 84, which was placed in December 2011 and bought by Belaruskali at the cost of Russian Sberbank's loan, was removed from the centralised custody.
“The VGDO 84 issue was replaced by new issues in December on the terms more preferential for the Ministry of Finance as part of the ongoing work to optimise the loan portfolio,” the chief of Ministry of Finance's press service commented on the deals confirming the debt refunding for Belaruskali company.
