Russia’s Central Bank is bailing out Moscow-based Trust Bank, in a bid to rescue it from insolvency.

The Central Bank has already issued a loan of RUB 30bn ($549m) to the Trust Bank which will help the lender continue normal operations.

The central bank’s Deposit Insurance Agency will take over supervision of the lender till an investor is found.

Meanwhile, Trust Bank has issued a statement saying that the move was not triggered by bankruptcy but was a restructuring strategy and all obligations would be met "in full and without any restrictions."
