LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - Russia's state-owned Vnesheconombank (VEB) is looking to secure a syndicated loan worth up to $1 billion and has invited banks to submit proposals for the deal, banking sources said on Friday.
So far this year, no Russian bank has tapped the international loan market, though bankers have told Reuters Loan Pricing Corp that MDM and Bank of Moscow are looking for smaller loans..
VEB's last loan was a 335 million euro ($469.6 million), three-year club deal signed in October 2008, which paid margin of 75 basis points (bps) over EURIBOR.
Prior to that, VEB signed an $800 million, three-year term loan in July 2006 that paid a margin of 35 bps over LIBOR.
