Against the backdrop of Russia’s full-scale military invasion of the territory of independent Ukraine, the international rating agency S&P downgraded Russia’s foreign currency ratings to “selective default”.

Moscow will not be able to fulfill its obligations to foreign debt holders. It is reported by  Reuters .

In fact, Russia could face the first sovereign external default in more than a century.

 “At this time, we do not expect investors to be able to convert ruble payments into dollars equivalent to the amounts originally due, or that the government will convert these payments within a 30-day grace period,” the agency said.

S&P and default rating:

S&P assigns a selective default rating when it believes that a debtor has selectively failed to meet its obligations under a particular issue or class of obligations, but will continue to meet its payment obligations on other issues or classes of obligations in a timely manner.

  1. Mafia land did what it could to prop up its ruble and markets but it only delayed the inevitable. Already, mafia supermarkets have anti-theft devices on normal food products … IF they are even available!
    Happy hunger games…
