Telegram has attracted over $1bn from floating their bonds, founder of the messenger Pavel Durov says in his Telegram channel on Tuesday. "I am happy to share that Telegram has raised over $1bn by selling bonds (a form of debt) to some of the largest and most knowledgeable investors from all over the world. This will enable Telegram to continue growing globally while sticking to its values and remaining independent. These resources will also fuel the monetization strategy I outlined in December [2020]," Durov noted.
The main source of financing for the business strategy of the Naftogaz Group until 2025 is its own funds, but the issue of eurobonds is also extremely important for its implementation, Head of the supervisory board of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy Clare Spottiswoode has said. "The issue of eurobonds is critical for the implementation of the strategy. Which means that conditions are also needed that will allow investors to make a decision to invest in our company," she said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
