Russian broker oversees sale of $26.5 million worth of frozen securities to foreign investors

 The Russian broker organising an asset swap scheme to free up frozen funds for Russian and foreign investors said on Sunday it had managed to sell another 2.54 billion roubles ($26.51 million) worth of securities to non-resident investors.

Broker Investitsionnaya Palata said this was in addition to 8.1 million roubles worth of securities that were bought out in the first round of the exchange, which ended on Aug. 13.

"Thus, in total, blocked assets worth 10.64 billion roubles were redeemed during the two stages," the broker said.

Moscow has presented the plan as a way for both Russian and foreign investors to free up assets that have been blocked by Western sanctions and Russian countermeasures since the start of the war in Ukraine more than two years ago.

Investitsionnaya Palata said it is considering a new redemption of securities after making changes to the swap procedure due to U.S. sanctions imposed on the Russian National Settlement Depository (NSD).
