### Russian Overnight Benchmark Rate Stabilizes at 13.77% The RUONIA (Russian Overnight Index Average), which serves as a benchmark for coupon payments, stabilized on Thursday at 13.77%. RUONIA is an indicative rate for overnight ruble-denominated interbank lending. It is calculated as a weighted average of actual overnight lending transactions between the top 35 Russian banks. Here are the key rates: - RUSFAR ON RUB (overnight in rubles): 13.77% - RUSFAR ON CNY (overnight in yuan): 1.8% It is important to note that RUONIA (Ruble Overnight Index Average) is an unsecured overnight lending rate in rubles, calculated by the Bank of Russia based on transactions among the top 35 banks. On the other hand, RUSFAR (Russian Secured Funding Average Rate) is a secured funding rate (based on repo transactions with a central counterparty), calculated by the Moscow Exchange for different tenors (overnight, 1 month, 3 months, etc.). RUSFAR serves as a key benchmark: - It reflects the level of rates in the Russian money market. - It is based on the average values of repo transactions with the central counterparty. - It is included in the list of financial indicators approved by the Bank of Russia. The main difference is that RUONIA is an unsecured rate, while RUSFAR is a secured rate. Both are key indicators of the cost of money in the market and are used for floating rates in bonds.
