As part of the first stage of Investpalat’s exchange, it was possible to sell assets of 8.1 billion rubles to foreign investors.
Deputy Minister of Finance Ivan Chebeskov said that the results of the first round of exchange of Russian investors blocked in the western countries can be called satisfactory, although the expectations were higher, the correspondent of The Moscow Post reports.
Chebeskov explained the final indicators with the pressure of Western central banks on foreign investors.
It should be noted that in the framework of the first stage, the organizer of exchange, Investpalat, was able to sell assets to foreign investors in the amount of 8.1 billion rubles, which is a quarter of the planned volume.
He emphasized that the decision to extend the period of ransom of blocked assets until October 12 was made due to interest in the mechanism.
Recall that on the second of September, Investpalata reported the parameters of the second stage of the exchange of assets, which does not provide for applications from Russian private investors.
However, sellers will be able to withdraw previously submitted but unfulfilled applications. Offers for a ransom from foreign investors will be accepted until September 20, and an exchange for exchange can be withdrawn from September 2 to 13.
