VTB Group is still planning to borrow in the Middle East this year, as investors aren't discouraged by the recent turmoil, deputy chairman Herbert Moos said Wednesday.
The lender is looking at possibilities to issue debt in Middle Eastern countries where there are "still pockets of liquidity," Moos said. "Of course, it doesn't help, what has happened, but investors don't see it as a contagion," he said.
VTB, which was the first Russian company to borrow in Singapore dollars and Chinese yuan, said last year that it might tap the market for Islamic financing.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
