JBIC to conclude loan agreement with Russian bank www3.nhk.or.jp
NHK has learned that a Japanese government-affiliated bank is preparing to play a role in forging closer economic ties between Japan and Russia. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation, or JBIC, is expected to conclude a loan agreement with Russia's largest bank.
The move comes as the 2 countries discuss economic cooperation ahead of a bilateral summit in Japan next month.
Sources have told NHK that JBIC is in final negotiations with Sberbank. They say it plans to set up a yen-denominated credit line of 30 billion yen, or about 270 million in dollars.
The goal is to make funds available to Russian businesses so they can buy infrastructure-related equipment from Japanese firms.
Commercial Japanese banks are cautious about lending to Sberbank. It's a target of Ukraine-related sanctions by the US and Europe. But the sources say the yen-denominated loans directly from Japan are not covered by the sanctions.
The credit line is intended to meet an increased level of demand for funding, stemming from closer bilateral cooperation.
