The Russian government on Monday confirmed it had raised over 95 billion roubles ($3.24 billion) from the sale of a 10 percent stake in VTB (VTBR.MM). "Investors from all over the globe showed an interest. Many authoritative companies from the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia for the first time invested money into Russia on such a scale," the government said in a press release.
