Belarus dollar bonds under pressure over forced airliner landing By Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) – Belarus sovereign dollar-denominated bonds came under pressure on Monday after authorities forced an airliner to land on Sunday, arresting an opposition-minded journalist on board and drawing condemnation from Europe and the United States.

The 2030 bond dropped as much as 0.7 cents to trade at 93.375 cents in the dollar, data from Tradeweb showed.

EU leaders are set to discuss additional sanctions against Belarus at a summit starting in Brussels later in the day after the events described by some EU leaders as a hijacking.
