Brishka Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) It’s a grim marker in the country’s rapid transformation into an economic, financial and political outcast. The nation’s eurobonds have traded at distressed levels since the start of March, the central bank’s foreign reserves remain frozen, and the biggest banks are severed from the global financial system. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-26/russia-defaults-on-foreign-debt-for-first-time-since-1918 Edited June 27, 2022 by Brishka

They will start feeling this in a few months, then it will just continue to get worse (and worse) for years. Their GDP is expected to record the biggest drop since 1994 in 2022, but it will only get worse from there. 7 minutes ago, Shame♥ said: Ah. Okay then. Doesn’t matter if it’s forced default - it’s just a new source of risk that will be baked into their cost of debt
Brando Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Not a real default cause Russia can afford to pay but is not allowed to. Russia's credit rating won't suffer if things ever normalised. So ye, not much to celebrate here. He'll just keep the money to himself

He'll just keep the money to himself Consequences of this default are likely long term rather than short term. No, things won't get "normalized." Germany, the weakest link within the G7, is weaning itself off russian energy at a rapid pace, so there will be zero incentive for Germany to push for this normalization in the future. India and China won't be able to bail them out. Russia's economy is absolutely doomed in the long term. Edited June 27, 2022 by Brishka
Velvet Night Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Good. Let this be a stark warning for all other economies that even try imperialism through conquest by military means.
