Despite Western pressure, China's debt market will be opened to Russian companies.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Why did China decide to bring Russian players back into the debt market?

The initiative to enter the Chinese debt market came from Russia, with Beijing supporting the strengthening of economic ties. Moreover, the leaders of the two countries noted that Russian-Chinese relations are currently at a high level, serving as a model of international cooperation.

Discussions on future deals took place at the end of August, with representatives of China's regulator and Russian top management participating. Russia's entry into the bond market will allow domestic businesses to regain access to the global financial arena, while the Chinese side will have the opportunity to invest in the real sector of the economy.

What is known about Russian businesses' plans to enter the Chinese bond market?

The Russian and Chinese sides confirm the agreement reached, but have not yet disclosed the details of the agreement, about which little is known:

China plans to open its domestic bond market to Russia; Russian businesses will be able to place panda bonds – debt obligations denominated in Chinese yuan. Major Russian companies will be key market participants. Representatives of Rosatom and Gazprom, both companies with high credit ratings, were among the first to express interest in the deals.

"The revival of the bond market is associated with the risk of secondary sanctions against Chinese banks – Western pressure remains significant," lawyers express concerns.

As a reminder, the US previously threatened to impose sanctions on companies and entities cooperating with Russia. For this reason, many Chinese banks refused to conduct transactions with Russian counterparties, and Russian borrowers were cut off from international stock markets.

Financial news: The recovery of the Russian derivatives market has slowed.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The growth rate of the Russian derivatives market in 2024 and the first half of 2025 decreased due to limited access to external markets.

Foreign currency derivatives transactions stabilized in 2025. The decline in foreign currency settlements for foreign trade transactions limits the potential of this market segment.

The volume of interest-bearing derivatives has increased slightly, but the prolonged period of tight monetary conditions and the expectation of their gradual easing are reducing interest in hedging interest rate risks.

The lack of Russian indicators that accurately reflect current prices hinders the development of commodity derivatives. Only derivatives on precious metals are the most actively traded.

Exchange-traded derivatives are developing quite dynamically. The volume of open positions in futures contracts on the Moscow Exchange's derivatives market has grown by almost a third. The most significant increase was in the money market section.

Financial News: The Bank of Russia presents a concept for supervisory stress testing of banks for discussion with the market.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Annual supervisory stress testing will become mandatory for all systemically important banks starting in 2028. The stress test results will impact the assessment of the bank's economic position and, consequently, the amount of contributions to the Mandatory Deposit Insurance Fund. They will also be factored into internal capital adequacy assessment procedures, which may determine whether the bank will receive an additional capital buffer.

The new approach will encourage credit institutions to accumulate the capital reserves necessary to independently overcome potential stress, which will increase the resilience of the banking sector as a whole.

For more details, please read the public consultation report. "The Concept of Supervisory Stress Testing of Credit Institutions"Responses to the questions posed in the report, as well as comments and suggestions regarding it, may be sent to the Bank of Russia up to and including October 17, 2025.

The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing, and other relevant agencies, as well as regional representatives.

"Epizootic safety is the key to the sustainable development of Russian livestock farming. Efforts to ensure this are being implemented across the entire chain. The Russian government has allocated 4.2 billion rubles to the regions for the purchase of vaccines and diagnostics in 2025. Moreover, funding for this area is steadily increasing, with a total of over 17 billion rubles already allocated over the past five years," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister stated that to minimize the risk of disease outbreaks, continuous monitoring of the situation in wildlife and private farms must be ensured.

At the federal level, all necessary tools for ensuring epizootic safety have been provided, including methodological recommendations for the regions, and decisions are being made at the commission level to improve industry regulation. Specifically, the veterinary safety plan has been updated, outlining procedures for preventing and responding to animal diseases. Systematic improvement of the effectiveness of state veterinary services remains a priority.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev instructed that preventative measures be implemented promptly to prevent disease outbreaks. The Deputy Prime Minister also drew the regional leaders' attention to the need for high-quality livestock census.
