Curious to see headlines saying "Russia Is Hours Away From Its First Foreign Default in a Century" (Bloomberg), then I come here and read that Russia "technically defaulted" in April.
Meanwhile I ask myself, didn't Russia default back in 1998? But digging into the records, I read that the default was on domestic debt, though there was a three-month moratorium on repaying foreign debt.
Finally, in the current situation, one has to bear in mind that any difficulties Russia has in paying debt right now, arise not because it lacks assets, but because many of its foreign assets have been frozen by the USA, because of the war in Ukraine.
A good article would sort through all these causes of confusion. Mporter ( talk) 20:53, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Why is there no mention in the article about the nature of said default? 90.154.70.241 ( talk) 04:31, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
I've tried to add some kind of update to the article but it's been surprisingly hard to find anything about this published after June 2022. I've managed to find this article by Interfax from March 2023 which says that the Finance Ministry is making repayments in roubles via National Settlement Depository (NSD) but it's not clear whether the creditors have actually accepted the arrangement. Any idea how to find more sources about it? Alaexis ¿question? 19:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
