After 5-Year Halt, Banks in U.S. Set Soviet Loan

By PETER T. KILBORN

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 — For reasons that analysts atttnbute partly to the spirit oi the Reagan-Gorbachev talks but more to serious new strains on the Soviet economy, American banks have started lending to the Russians again after a five-year hiatus. f

Without the ceremony or public pronouncements that often accompany such transactions, four of the nation’s biggest banks — First National of Chicago, Morgan Guaranty, Bankers Trust and Irving Trust — plus a London subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada agreed early this month to lend the Soviet Union up to $klb million at unusually low interest rates to buy American and Canadian grain. Tins week, those banks are inviting scores of others to share in the loan.

In relation to the tens of billions of dollars that American banks have lent to countries such as Mexico and Argentina, it is a small amount. But it is enormous in terms of American lending to the Soviet Union, one of the world’s major debtor countries through borrowings from European and Japanese banks. This single transaction exceeds the total of the Soviet debt to American banks by $125 million, and bankers and international economists suspect that much greater amounts are likely.

“It means that American banks are beginning to get back in business with the Soviet Union," said Ed A. Hewett, a specialist in Soviet affairs at the Brookings Institution, a research organization here.

“My guess is that this kind of lending is going to get bigger,” said a senior officer of one of the American banks, who, out of concern that his comments might antagonize the Russians, added that, “in their own measured way, they’ll be following up if this loan is a success.”

“It's also interesting that it is happening at the time of the summit,” Mr. Vanous added. There are no legal ; American barriers to this kind of loan, but bankers Involved in the loan

“Banks are very political,” said John R. Hardt, an associate director and a Soviet specialist at the Congressional Research Service, a part of the Library of Congress. "They generally follow the flag. They don't like to be criticized for being unpatriotic, craven and those sorts of things.” For the Soviet Union, a more compelling consideration was the state of its economy. To build up its domestic economy and to compensate for disappointing harvests, it relies heavily on Imports of machinery and agricultural goods. To pay for the imports, it needs foreign currencies — dollars, West German marks, Japanese yen — because most countries will not accept Russian rubles.

producer. For several years, however, world oil prices have been lunging. On top of that, the Russians ave encountered severe production difficulties at their rich oilfields in Western Siberia.

Becauseof the Soviet debt-pnyment record, banks in the United States and abroad are competing aggressively to share in the business. But eventually, some economists warn, the Russians, like the big I-atln American debtors, could run into payment difficulties.

With no important expótts other than oil and gold, which has also been hurt by low prices, the Russians could soon face shortages of hard currencies to repay the loans. "Their oil problem is a long-term problem,” Mr. Hewett said. “It isn't a blip. A couple of years down the road the banks are going to get nervous.”
