Russian debt yield 190%?!

8/13 Russian Currency Controls Send Stocks Plunging, Drive Bond Yields Higher

Excerpt:
Russia's RTS stock index
plunged to 27-month lows and debt yields soared to 190 percent as
central bank efforts to shore up the ruble backfired, renewing
concern a devaluation is imminent.

A ruble devaluation could lead to a collapse of the banking
system and spark social unrest, analysts said. Russia continues to
dip into its $17 billion in dwindling foreign exchange reserves to
meet more than $23 billion in debt payments this year, including
more than $1 billion a week.
