Investors from Slovakia have been buying Russian bonds through brokers in Kazakhstan

Investors from Slovakia have been buying Russian bonds through brokers in Kazakhstan, circumventing EU sanctions. A report by Kazakh authorities does not specify their names or investment volume. In particular, Kazakhs and Russians have been buying Russian debt at a large discount, with transactions in ruble-denominated securities amounting to $1.4bn since March. After the Russian invasion, investors have had difficulty getting interest or principal payments from Russian bonds, but they found a solution in Kazakhstan.
