Russia one step ahead of bankruptcy, according to Fitch
The credit rating agency Fitch again downgraded Russia’s debt, amid the war in Ukraine, stressing that its decision reflects the view of analysts that The risk of Moscow announcing a moratorium on public debt payments is “immediate”.
The lower the rating, the less lenders will show confidence in Russia and will be willing to enter into loan agreements at reasonable interest rates.
Justifying this decision, Fitch cites a presidential decree signed on March 5 that could allow Russia to repay its creditors in certain countries with rubles, not in foreign currency. The house also notes the central bank’s decision to restrict the transfer of certain securities to non-residents, as well as the US-British embargo on Russian hydrocarbons.
He considers it possible that “at least” the “Selective bankruptcy”and possible technical obstacles, in particular obstacles to the transfer of funds imposed on Moscow, reduce the ability and willingness of the Russian Government to continue to service its external public debt. If a moratorium is declared by Russia, it will be the first since 1998.
