KYIV, Oct 23 - Investment analysts believe that the current time is favorable for Ukraine's access to the external debt market and estimate the volume of sovereign eurobonds to be placed at more than $1.5 billion.

"As shown by the recent placement of Turkey's eurobonds, there is demand for risk instruments, and Ukraine can count on interest in its securities. At the same time, the placement will show what amount of Ukraine's risks investors are ready to undertake," senior analyst on public debt of ICU Group Taras Kotovych told Interfax-Ukraine.
