The temporary suspension follows the freezing of the country’s assets abroad, the Russian Central Bank explained Interest payments to foreign investors holding Russian government bonds will be temporarily suspended, the country’s Central Bank announced on Wednesday. The move comes after some $400 billion of the nation’s reserves were frozen abroad as part of sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. Coupon payments for foreigners holding ruble-denominated sovereign debt (or OFZs) have been banned, and Russian companies have also been prohibited from paying dividends to overseas shareholders. The Central Bank did not specify how long the suspension, which doesn’t apply to domestic investors, would last. The measure is aimed at preventing the withdrawal of funds from the financial market and mass sales of Russian securities, the media has reported, citing a statement from the regulator’s press service. A ban on the writing-off of securities from the accounts of foreign investors has also been introduced.

Inter-bank lending rates are expected to close low this month as inflow worth N1.0 trillion is estimated to hit the financial market, according to Afrinvest Securities Limited. The inter-bank rates consist of Overnight rate, which is the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight lending, and Open Repo (OPR) rate, a short-term agreement to sell securities in order to buy them back at a slightly higher price. The inflow is expected to come from maturities and coupon payment, a report by Afrinvest stated. However, inflows may subdue money market rates, prompting the CBN to mop-up liquidity via more auction volumes than in February as well as discretionary Cash Reserve (CRR) debits thereby keeping money market rates elevated. Nevertheless, “we do not expect stop rates and auction volumes to deviate significantly from current levels,’’ analysts at Afrinvests said. After maintaining a robust level through January, system liquidity weakened in February spurred by Open Market Operation (OMO) auctions (N270.0bn) and primary market sales of T-bills and FGN Bonds (N778.2bn).
