Russia’s Gazprom said on Friday it was taking a pause in using some of its debt tools but the gas giant said it had not suspended its loans programme and still had access to private loans.
Gazprom suspended its external borrowing programme this year because of a deepening legal dispute with Ukraine’sNaftogaz over gas supplies, banking sources said this month. A London court in June froze the firm’s assets in Britain at the request of Naftogaz.
