Changes in the volume of Russian investments in US bonds

84
The US Treasury Department reported that it reported that in October of this year Russia reduced its investments in US bonds by more than 7 billions of dollars. If by the beginning of October the amount of investments was about 89,1 billion dollars, by the beginning of November Russia's investments in American debts are $ 82 billion.

It is noted that when considering a more extensive time interval, Russian investments in US government bonds increased. Just over half a year ago, they (investments were) about 70 billion dollars.

Today, according to RIA News, Russia occupies the 15 line in the position of countries investing in the US national debt. If Russia continues to get rid of US government bonds, in the near future it can move the line below. For the time being, this line is occupied by Germany with 81,6 billion dollars of investments.

Changes in the volume of Russian investments in US bonds


The first two places (traditionally for the last years) are held by China and Japan. However, it should be noted that these countries have seriously reduced their investments in American debt. However, the sum of investments of Japan and China in the US government bonds and now remains more than impressive. For two, it's more than 3,3 trillion. dollars. This is about 17,5% of total US debt.

          ---------------------------------
          Holy naivety! At the beginning of the year, $ 1 trillion was allocated to save banks. Rubles. Of these, 883 billion are lying dead on deposits and immediately:
          the benefit of refusing indexation to working retirees is 87 billion a year.

            And who needs it?
            Specific people are behind investing in the American economy.
            These people decided that investing in America is more profitable for them.

            According to the internal economic (so-called) policy, one cannot invest one's money in one's own economy. But the money of foreign investors is possible. But they (investors) for some reason do not go here. Maybe Medvedev ask, why?

              Investors expect at least to receive a refund in five years. After reading VO at their leisure, one can imagine what will happen to Medvedev in 5 years.

            I suspect that as soon as the active collection of Amean debts of one of the countries begins, the remaining holders will also begin to actively do this in order to at least get something. A chain reaction will begin ... the dollar will sink and by this time it is better for us (Russia) to be away from this whirlpool.

            If you try to understand international finance, you will easily see that this money is not there. Today, Russia owes more than $ 500 billion. Two years ago, the debt exceeded $ 700 billion. In two years, they repaid more than $ 200 billion. But the debt is still great. Money invested in bonds is still not enough to pay it off. This is precisely the main problem of the Russian economy. Debts were made when oil was expensive and it was easy to repay debts. Now oil is cheap and giving debts is much more difficult.

            The debt consists of the debts of the State http://info.minfin.ru/debt.php.
            And corporate sector debt. But to extinguish it also to the State, as the state simply cannot allow bankruptcy, for example of Gazprom, Rosneft or Sberbank.

            Yes Yes!!! By the way, about what grows out of a small one, as I remember now:


            All that we are pleased about other people's debts ...

            In 2015, Russia will pay $ 65 billion on external debt. Most of this amount, according to the Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Elvira Nabiullina, has already been repaid. At the end of 2014, Russia's foreign debt decreased by 18% to $ 599,5 billion. The bulk of it falls on liabilities of domestic companies to external creditors ($ 376,5 billion) and bank debt ($ 171,1 billion).


            With all this, the debts of the government are only $ 41 million !!! fellow

      It is noted that when considering a more extensive time interval, Russian investments in US government bonds increased. Just over half a year ago, they (investments were) about 70 billion dollars.


      Sergey, what changes in priorities are you talking about. Pay attention to the above phrase. At the moment, it seems that there is simply nothing to invest. But the total amount of investment is growing steadily. Kudrin's "case" lives on and wins, unfortunately, a colleague. hi

If my sclerosis does not fail me, the budget deficit was declared 655 billion rubles, but due to the game on the ruble exchange rate, the budget received more than a trillion rubles. So it covered the deficit and made a profit.

    Investing in government bonds of other countries (in this case, the USA) is a profitable business. Another thing is the profitability of these investments. It seems to date, the yield on US debt is 2,2% per annum. That is, the Russian Federation earns on this, as I understand it, 1,6 billion a year. Now, just economists have to calculate what the profitability of these 82 billion will be if they are invested in the country's economy?

    Of course, there is no point in financing the enemy. But we must not forget that two years ago they were "partners". And to withdraw such a heap of money in a year or two is unrealistic.

    State external debts of Russia (liabilities of the Russian Federation arising in foreign currency) as of July 1, 2015 amounted to USD 36,4 billion, and the total external debt of Russia (the total external debt (of the private and federal sector) of the Russian Federation) - USD 555,7 billion. It would be possible with these candy wrappers (government bonds) to completely close the state debt of Russia and still have left ... I do not understand at all why on income in dollars from goods sold abroad (oil, gas, nuclear power, military) then buy US bonds. The yield on them is scanty, and the maturity is years. Why do we need such gold and foreign exchange reserves, I don’t understand at all. It seems that they just do not know what to do with dollars. It seems that in 2015 this figure sometimes decreased to 55 billion dollars, and now it has "decreased" - 82. So it is too early to believe those who say that Russia's investments in support of US government debt are declining. It's just that the size of these investments, most likely, floats in the 60-90 region and depends on the maturity of these bonds. The strangest thing is that later, when GKOs are paid off, someone else has the sense to re-invest the cashed dollars again in the next issues of GKOs in the USA (that is, consider, again in the US economy).

    Russia in October of this year reduced its investment in US bonds by more than 7 billion dollars.

    - The beginning is good, but something o-very slowly, we UNDERSTAND them!

    And you can’t quickly, because then the dollar will collapse right away. We’ll lose everything on IT. It’s good that Japan and China overtake us like this in this matter, their losses will be inevitable, but they are also trying to minimize them. And that the process has begun is good. The less they buy their stock from the United States, the less they can print their dollars.

    The shortage of either the Reserve Fund or take, or sell part of the US government bonds.
    Bonds yield 1,5% per year.

    And investments in Russian bonds give a much higher percentage of why foreign funds, even American ones, are happy to buy them. But why are ours so invested in imported ones that give almost zero income in the aggregate - is it unclear? Mb one of our leaders earns loyalty to the State Department of the SGA?
    If this is not so, then what is the trick - the product is kind of unprofitable! No. ? fool ?

      Only the best banker in the world knows. I’ll tell you the last name only to no one else. Elvira Sahipzadovna Nabiullina.
      In May 2014, she ranked 71st in the Forbes magazine's ranking of “100 Most Influential Women in the World”. Nabiullina became the only representative of Russia in this ranking.
      In September 2015, Euromoney magazine recognized Elvira Nabiullina as the best leader among the heads of central banks in the world in 2015.
      And yet, she was an excellent student at school.
      Personally, I have nothing to her.
      Well, why so "shitty" probably only she knows.
