Additionally, there are issues with an indexed nominal value (OFZ-IN) and variable coupons (OFZ-PK), each with different characteristics and suited for different investment goals. The MCXRGBI government bond index serves as a key indicator of the Russian debt market, reflecting the dynamics of the entire spectrum of government securities. Key characteristics of liquid OFZ bonds: 1. **OFZ-PD (with fixed coupon)** – most in demand due to predictable coupon payments, for example, issues maturing in 2034-2041. 2. **OFZ-IN (with indexed nominal value)** – protect against inflation, but their yield is realized at maturity or sale. 3. **OFZ-PK (with floating coupon)** – highly liquid, for example, OFZ 29014, 29024, 29016. This overview was presented by Alexei Grishchenko, Ph.D., Professor at the Department of Operational and Sectoral Management of the Faculty "Higher School of Management" at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
