US Treasury Official: Bond default would add to Russia's economic pain
“A default on Russia's sovereign debt would add further pain to Russia's economy and financial system, making it harder for Moscow to find new lending sources and raising future borrowing costs, a US Treasury official said on Monday,” per Reuters.
The official also told Reuters, per the news, “The Treasury believes there are limited direct exposures in the U.S. financial system to Russian sovereign bonds and the main impact would fall on a Russian economy already reeling under the weight of US sanctions.”
