Russia has reduced its investments in US government debt by a third, according to the reports of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In November, Russia’s investments in US government debt securities decreased by $1.3 billion, from $3.7 billion to $2.4 billion.
In 2013, Russia’s investments in US government bonds exceeded $150 billion. In April 2018, amid tough sanctions, Russia’s investments in United States Treasury bonds fell by almost half, from $96.1 billion to $48.7 billion. Since then, they have been constantly declining.
