### Russian Corporate Bonds Performance on Wednesday Below is the performance of corporate bonds traded on the Moscow Exchange on Wednesday: - Russian Agricultural Bank (ISIN: RU000A1068R1) +0.1% - Polus (ISIN: RU000A108L81) +0.2% - Borets Capital Bond (ISIN: RU000A10EK71) -0.1% - AFK Sistema (ISIN: RU000A101XN7) +0.1% All corporate bonds have a credit rating that helps investors quickly assess the creditworthiness of the issuer. In Russia, a national rating scale is used, with the highest rating being "AAA" and the lowest being "C". Additionally, there is a "D" rating, which indicates an actual default. Generally, the higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and the lower the yield on its bonds. Bonds rated "AAA" are the most reliable, typically issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. Bonds rated from "A-" to "AA+" are considered reliable and are invested in by pension funds and other institutional investors. Bonds rated from "BBB-" to "BBB+" are a transitional category, representing companies that may be sensitive to adverse market or economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). Bonds rated from "B-" to "BB+" are high-yield issuers (HYE), with high risks and high yields, often issued by small or medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. Bonds rated "CCC" or "D" are on the brink of default, carrying maximum risks. This overview was presented by Alexey Grishchenko, Doctor of Economics, Professor at the Department of Operational and Sectoral Management at the Faculty of "Higher School of Management" of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
