Additionally, there are bonds with indexed nominal values (OFZ-IN) and floating coupons (OFZ-PK), each with different characteristics suitable for different investment goals. The MCXRGBI 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 (Fixed-Coupon Bonds)** – The most popular due to predictable coupon payments, for example, issues maturing between 2034 and 2041. 2. **OFZ-IN (Indexed-Nominal Bonds)** – Protect against inflation, but their yield is realized at maturity or sale. 3. **OFZ-PK (Floating-Coupon Bonds)** – Highly liquid, such as OFZ 29014, 29024, 29016.
