The story of Uralkali and Belaruskali would make a fine Ian Fleming novel. Russian and Belarusian potash miners clash, wrecking their lucrative marketing cartel. The chief executive of Uralkali, the Russian miner, is arrested in Belarus while on his way to meet the Belarusian prime minister. Russian oligarchs come under political pressure to sell their big stakes in Uralkali. And now: enter China. A unit of China’s sovereign wealth fund exchanged its Uralkali bonds for a 12.5 per cent equity stake yesterday. Is its play political, economic, or both?
俄罗斯钾肥生产商Uralkali和白俄罗斯同行Belaruskali的故事，可以写成一部不错的伊恩•弗莱明小说（译者注：007原著的作者）。俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的钾肥矿商闹矛盾，撕毁了他们之间利润丰厚的卡特尔营销联盟。俄罗斯Uralkali的首席执行官在白俄前往会见该国总理的途中被捕。俄罗斯寡头面临政治压力而出售其持有的大量Uralkali股份。下一步是：manbetx3.0 进场。manbetx3.0 主权财富基金的一个部门周二将其所持有的Uralkali可转股债券换成12.5%股权。这步棋是出于政治意图，还是manbetx20客户端下载 意图，亦或两者兼有？
