KIEV, Aug. 14 – Jitters on the international financial markets have reduced the interest of foreign investors in the bonds of Ukrainian issuers, according to First Deputy Board Chairman and the head of the financial markets department at Kiev-based ING Bank Ukraine, Valeria Hontareva.

"Today the situation [on the bond market] has changed: there is still abundant liquidity and low rates on interbank, although the appetite of foreign investors is doubtful," Hontareva said in an interview with the InvestGazeta weekly newspaper published on Monday.
