Russia and North Korea settled debt in 11 billion dollars

Russia and the DPRK on Monday signed an agreement on the settlement of North Korean debt to Russia in the amount of 11 billion dollars, said Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak.

“Yesterday they signed,” he said, explaining that we are talking about North Korea’s debt in the amount of 11 billion dollars, reports RIA “News».

Earlier, Storchak reported that the Ministry of Finance of Russia in June planned to submit a draft resolution on signing the agreement to settle the DPRK’s debt for approval by the government. Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia 31 May - 2 June held talks with the Ministry of Finance of North Korea on debt settlement, Interfax reports.

As a result of the negotiations, the amount of the debt settled and the conditions remained the same, Storchak explained then. We are talking about 11 billion dollars in DPRK debt on loans provided by the former USSR. “Classical conditions (settlements) related to our participation in the Paris Club, recalculated into dollars at the corresponding rate, further primary discount, and the balance of the debt is used in the operations“ debt in exchange for help, ”said the deputy minister.

Storchak added that the balance is about 1 billion dollars. At the same time, he noted that we are talking about assistance in the field of energy, health and education.

Russia and the DPRK resumed negotiations to settle the debt in 2011 after a long break. Until 2007, the parties could not agree on a debt repayment scheme. In particular, the Russian Federation did not exclude the possibility of writing off part of the debt and providing installments to pay the remaining amount or repaying the debt in the form of investments.

In August 2011, the leaders of the Russian Federation and the DPRK, Dmitry Medvedev and Kim Jong Il, at a meeting in Ulan-Ude, developed approaches to solving the problem of North Korean debt.

Then Storchak said that the size of the debt of North Korea is 11 billion dollars. The loan was issued in Soviet rubles at the rate of 60 kopecks per 1 dollar.

Forgiven $ 10, promised to give $ 000 allegedly by joint projects in the energy sector, well settled
Damn, we are so rich that evil takes

In 2007, experts estimated North Korean debt to the former USSR at $ 8 billion, in 2009, taking into account interest, already at $ 9 billion. In 2011, North Korea’s total debt was valued at $ 11 billion.

The main creditors of North Korea, in addition to Russia, are China and South Korea. If you divide the total debt by the number of people in North Korea, it turns out that each citizen of the DPRK owes $ 775 to the rest of the world. At the same time, the official salary in North Korea is only a few dollars.

Among the recipients of Soviet loans are Mongolia, Vietnam, Angola, Ethiopia, India, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan - only about 100 countries. Many debts by Russia have already been written off, such as Vietnam (10 billion dollars), Iraq (8 billion dollars) and others.

The undisputed leader in terms of debt to Russia is Cuba. The Russian authorities estimate Cuba’s debt from the time of the USSR at $ 25–26 billion, but the chances of its return are almost nil. The Cuban government believes that Russia owes this country an even larger sum for a sharp break in economic relations between the USSR and Cuba.

We have a good economic policy ...

Guys, do not you boil:
DEBT SETTLEMENT - development of conditions for debt repayment with the participation of a third party, which together with the creditor develops the conditions for repayment of the debt and assumes part of the debt obligations, subsequently paid by the debtor.

That's how it translates scientifically, and not just a gift, as you think.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for the money, but on the other hand, if the USSR didn’t give them money in due time, maybe today there wouldn’t be this Korea, the Americans would have one big problem less. And so Korea lives and builds atomic bombs to our enemies to perdition.

Forgiving unpromising debts and timely servicing one’s is a matter of prestige, if a country has weight on the world stage, prestige is not the last thing for it, and besides, we brought the former socialist allies to this path Well, who knew that there was a swamp, we left them without a chapter in our faces, well, it seems like we apologized like that, someone admitted that he was not a sheep and she still paid off their debts, and someone was not able to take care of himself. Russia didn’t especially ask forgiveness to her, because she always pays for her bills, you know, you know, to depend on the West, because the Soviet Union also took over the tsar’s, because all this is ours, and not common.

[Slayer]

Yes, they wouldn’t repay one debt to them, they’ll have nothing to eat and then $ 10 billion, and even though the relations will be even warmer, it’s not for nothing that this meeting has just passed, so Russia has interests in this region and donate for these interests money that anyway will never give back in my opinion normally. No empire can be built without bribery. And they really have so tight a bugger that they were ready to take care of the amers, so here either the friendly regime would lose ties in the region, or something like that)

[Radarik606]

I think there was an agreement on Iraq with Amer, they say you forgive the debt and will be let into the oil industry, Lukoil was allowed (75% share) to one of the largest oil and gas fields in the West Kurna-2 and Western Kurna 1 was given to the Americans and the British, and in my opinion it is incredible success!!!!
And in Vietnam, Gazprom, Zarubezhneft and TNK, Syria are a separate matter, India has been replenishing the military-industrial complex with orders over the past 20 years, Algeria has also been adding military-industrial complex to Russneft for exploration.

I believe that in return for the money (which Korea will never give back, even though it will be successful), our people threw on them some obligations that are adequate to the money spent by the Soviet Union. I suspect that something is connected with Japan, and at the same time with the pipeline to South Korea.
In principle, such a "boundless" accomplice will come in handy in our difficult times. At the extreme, they will become the first echelon in front of Alaska or Irutup - everything is better than drowning your fleet for the amusement of the public.

did not live rich, do not hell and start. Only debts in such countries accumulated more than 114 billion (forgiven), and in the late 90s, Russia was on its knees before the IMF, which would have given 10 billion. in debt, and he only set demands. And not one of these friends (including Syria, Korea, Algeria, Nicaragua, Angola, Ethiopia, etc.) offered help or did not lend money. (By the way, Syria then was in a very not bad situation) Nobody remembered that the grandmother owed that they were helped. but they chuckled quietly in their corners and wished for one thing, so that Russia would fall apart altogether, then they would not remember the grandmothers.
And now you are for helping the poor, and when you were poor, who helped you out of your former friends?

I’ll tell you so about forgiven debts - Russia pays OMERIKA (as a tribute) $ 200-300 billion a year (!) year

Let them like they want to spin - they sell colormet, they collect bottles, they go to the porch or to the panel ... They fucking disciplined people, let them go in order. Girls on the left. Boys on the right. Or, if they so desire, then vice versa ...
And it's not even about the money itself. Although they also have a price. And a rather big one I must say ... The point is in principle, a simple principle that has been in circulation since time immemorial: "Take - give it back!" ...
But in this case, it’s not the position of the Koreans that amazes ... Those who agreed for their own interests ... But the position of our state husbands who easily give such a deduction is astounding ...
In general, I understand that this amount would not play a huge role for the Russian economy, and for some reason I’m even sure that it would be halved ... But that is not the point. And that give. And give ours with you. And not even ours specifically, but what is earned and earned honestly and honestly by the older generation. Also Soviet. Our fathers and older brothers.

January 25, the Ministry of Finance is joyfully aboutHe announced the final settlement of debt to the London Club of creditors, inherited by Russia from the former Soviet Union. Liabilities to the London Club represented a debt to 600 private commercial banks in Western Europe, the USA and Japan on loans attracted by Vnesheconombank of the USSR until December 31, 1991. The total amount of money raised then exceeded 30 billion dollars.

At first, the new Russia regularly paid the money, but then a default occurred in August 1998, and the government ceased to service the debts of the former USSR. After the default, Russian leaders traveled around the world financial centers for a long time, agreeing to write off debts and negotiating with the IMF about new financial assistance. Then-Minister of Finance Mikhail Kasyanovit was possible to convince creditors to write off a substantial part of Soviet debt and its restructuring.

In February 2000, creditors of the London Club 36,5 percent - 10,5 billion dollars of the debt amount were written off, and the remaining debt of 31,7 billion dollars was transferred to Eurobonds, the maturity of which will come in 2010 and 2030. The operation, as noted in the Ministry of Finance, became unique in terms of the restructured debt - $ 21,2 billion, and the number of participants - more than 400 financial institutions. 99,9 percent of creditors accepted the offers on the exchange of debt on Eurobonds. But the existence of a debt balance, albeit a microscopic one, did not allow us to speak of a final settlement of the public debt.

In terms of Marshall Altruism, 0,0.

- I do not think that support for the DPRK at one time was altruism. And in general, from the point of view of ethologists (instinct specialists), altruism is a peculiar form of egoism. We in society support someone who has fallen into a difficult situation as if from altruism - in fact, we are creating a tradition or way that is beneficial to us, which can help us in difficult times. Is it logical? Can’t you see a tough, selfish note?

[arutun]

Interestingly, if a Russian citizen owed Sberbank say 11 million, he would be forgiven 10. and help with utility bills ???
take a loan or something)))

Dry the crackers first, and then the loan so that there is something to eat on the run.

Russian generosity knows no bounds!

But if it is at all serious, then such issues are not solved right away. Such an amount can only be forgiven on the basis of careful consideration by experts. And since they came to this conclusion, it means that there was no other way out. In the Far East, Russia already has enough enemies. Here and Japan with its Kuriles, and China is pressing ... There was also not enough offended and inflated for the "unfortunate 11 yards" how is it? Kim Jong-un, or something. Or is the preservation of the Far East and Siberia in general not worth the money, the return of which is generally questionable? I think that DPRK should at least recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia for such a step, or what? Here I am not entirely in the know, correct if that. The base is not a base, and if there is some trouble, then there is an ally. Authoritarian regimes of this kind like dogs are either selflessly devoted or hated with all their hearts. For some reason, cold rationality and cold calculation are inaccessible to them. This also needs to be taken into account in foreign policy, isn't it?

[REPA1963]

This is not an ally; this is a parasite most likely.

[Karabin]

Again, I do not agree with you, aksakal.

Comrade Kim Jong-un, if he gets a taste, can very quickly forget about the "unfortunate 11 yards", and be offended, for example, for failure to supply food. It is clear that Korea will not be able to repay debts not today, not in the near future. Freeze the debt and let it lie until better times, as an argument in negotiations. Why zero, I don’t understand?

- there is a reason in this, but it is difficult to judge here, the lack of information affects, therefore we now look like fortune-tellers. But the fact is the fact - the retention of such a huge territory, on which there are also millions of carats of diamonds, is not a cheap pleasure. There are many who wish. It is best to fence off those willing ones with buffer zones in the form of satellite states. Well, these satellite states are, according to Murphy's law, as a rule, freeloaders. Look at the behavior of the same Kyrgyzstan or the same Tajikistan. True, the Russian political leadership is acting more harshly and pragmatically there - in response to the Tajiks' desire to earn extra money, the Khorog crisis arises unexpectedly and "accidentally", after which the Tajiks quickly forget about their dreams. I do not think that this seemingly random "Khorog" crisis cost the Russian treasury for free. Special operations are also not cheap. But with the DPRK, because of their own considerations, they did just that. So there are reasons. I just convey the idea that these costs will be for anyone, there is no getting away from them, and therefore the universal howl over these costs is not entirely appropriate. IMHO.

- I’ll add, if the state is a buffer and at the same time strong and independent, then it will even be more dangerous than the state from which it is initially fenced off with a buffer. Look at the behavior of Turkey - all these pan-Turkic ideas, thoughts about the Crimea and so on. If not the pressure of Amera, Iran would have had its own thoughts on the division of the Caspian and other.
No, of course, there are pleasant exceptions like Kazakhstan. The buffer state for two superpowers - Russia and China at the same time, performs its buffer affairs well, and feeds itself, grazes there quietly in its meadow, regularly supplies raw materials, is pleased with the tiny thanks that these superpowers are dumping for it - well, loans preferential, on the one hand, weapons with a symbolic discount - on the other. So, this is an exception, and you can minus the second, but security is more expensive, and I would like Kazakhstan to pursue a more effective policy in this regard - after all, it is necessary to compensate for its enormous moral suffering caused by the endless refusals of tempting Amer suggestions and awareness of lost profits. And then right there are so convenient for everyone. Not very bready

the government and the president have no rights to write off such debts; the consent of both houses of parliament is necessary.

need the consent of both houses of parliament.

There are no problems with this, they will approve anything.

Say counterrevolutionary things, dear, you want to undermine the state principles in Russia, you never asked the consent of the representatives of the people, and apparently they will never ask.

WASHINGTON, Sep 18 - RIA Novosti, Maria Tabak. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) ceases operations in Russia, according to a statement by the official representative of the US Department of State Victoria Nuland.

“The United States recently learned from the Russian government about the decision to end USAID's activities in Russia. We are very proud of what USAID has achieved in Russia over the past two decades, and we will continue to work with our partners and staff to responsibly complete USAID programs or transfer powers ", - the document says.

"Although the physical presence of USAID in Russia has come to an end, we remain committed to upholding democracy, human rights and the development of a healthy civil society in Russia, and strive to continue to work with Russian NGOs," the statement said.

US Agency for International Development - created by John F. Kennedy in 1961, the agency of the US federal government. It is engaged in supporting the development of the economy, health care, providing emergency humanitarian assistance, assisting in the prevention of conflicts and supporting the development of democracy in more than a hundred countries.

I'm sorry, but there is no word "forgiven" in the message. There are "settled". And there is the phrase "cancellation is possible." It is not yet known how the leader of S. Korea will be unscrewed for 11 billion.

Understand the diploma. language and S. Korea is no different from other countries such as Syria - which has forgiven debts of 10 billion in return for a promise to buy weapons for 4 billion. --- Well, where is all this now?

[Onotollah]

You know, based purely on ideas about human nature, one hardly believes in the forgiveness of such a huge amount. At least with impunity.
Maybe they’ll take loyalty or place the bases or something else. There are many options.

If they cannot repay the debts, they must freeze until either they have money, or until real men come to power with us. I understand that both events are unlikely, but this money is unbuilt roads and houses, beggarly pensions and salaries, a poor army and a scanty fleet, and all this is the fruit of our generosity, and I would say - embezzlement on an especially large scale, for which in the Union " vyshak "gave

There is international arbitration and debt collection opportunities. At the same North. Korea has both property and assets abroad. Or only Russia can arrest sailboats?

I think that the debt settlement document contains a small paragraph, and at the very bottom of the document, in small print, but nonetheless very significant, namely the provision of sea ports and bases, airfields, and other military infrastructure in the DPRK, in which case or Russian conflict in the Pacific. Or something like that. I do not believe in selfless generosity.

Provocative article. Not a word about the fact that a few days earlier a tripartite agreement was reached between North and South Korea and Gazprom to resume the process of laying an onshore gas pipeline to South Korea, which is now going there to LNG, in quantities insufficient for South Koreans, they want more and cheaper . The debt of the North is the guarantee that the gas pipeline will be beyond the political Korean intrigues. The debt itself will quietly pay the South. According to anyone, in the event of a union, any Korea should pay for it.

Interest is usurious: 2007-8 billion, 2011-11 billion.
The USSR gave Cuba a loan for the construction of a nuclear power plant - the work was 90% completed and stopped. There is no nuclear power plant, but the debt remains. In North Korea, Moscow also agreed to build a nuclear power plant, but at the request of American friends refused.

The US also helps other countries. Sometimes even when they don’t ask. However, the USSR so helped Afghanistan.
