MFK Renaissance is to target a $750m credit facility for Vnesheconombank at US investors, say eastern European specialists. The loan will have a short dated maturity -- possibly as short as 2-1/2 months. That MFK Renaissance is tapping the US investor market is a result of the worsening economic climate in Russia. The loan market for Russian borrowers is all but dead, with only a handful of deals closed this year. Those deals which have closed have been small and generously priced to attract lenders.
