### Russian Government Bond Index Rises by 0.1% On Tuesday, the Russian government bond index (MCXRGBI) increased by 0.1% and is now at 118.62 basis points. Below is the trading dynamics of the most liquid Federal Loan Bonds (OFZ): - OFZ series № 26247 +0.1% - OFZ series № 26248 +0.2% - OFZ series № 26238 +0.3% - OFZ series № 26246 +0.1% The MCXRGBI serves as a key indicator of the Russian debt market, reflecting the dynamics of the entire spectrum of government securities. The most liquid OFZ bonds are typically long-term issues with fixed coupons (OFZ-PD), such as OFZ 26248 and OFZ 26245, which account for a large share of trading volume. There are also issues with an indexed nominal value (OFZ-IN) and variable coupons (OFZ-PK), but they have different characteristics and are suitable for different purposes. Important characteristics of liquid OFZ bonds: 1. Fixed coupon bonds (OFZ-PD) - the most in-demand due to predictable coupon payments, for example, issues maturing in 2034-2041. 2. Index-linked nominal bonds (OFZ-IN) - protect against inflation, but their yield is realized at maturity or sale. 3. Floating coupon bonds (OFZ-PK) - have high liquidity, for example, OFZ 29014, 29024, 29016. This overview was presented by Alexey Grishchenko, Doctor of Economics, Professor at the Department of Operational and Sectoral Management of the Faculty of "Higher School of Management" at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
