KIEV, Dec. 16 – The large growth in the yield of Ukrainian eurobonds, which increased after the worsening of the political situation in the country, has attracted the attention of players whose core business is bad asset management, investment experts have told Interfax-Ukraine.
Ukraine is now a "problematic asset" they say.
Senior economist for Russia and the CIS at Barclays Vladimir Pantyushin, whose specialization is so-called distressed assets, said that companies are interested in Ukrainian eurobonds after a sharp fall in the yield of the eurobonds of the country and credit default swap (CDS) rates. This followed the escalation of the internal political situation, which caused serious alarm among investors.
