Russia Gazprom to launch dollar Eurobond-sources

MOSCOW, April 7 (Reuters) - Russia's gas export monopoly, Gazprom (GAZP.MM), plans to start marketing a benchmark-sized dollar-denominated Eurobond issue and expects to price it next week, banking sources said on Tuesday.

"They plan to start a roadshow on April 11 and price it on Friday of next week," an investment banker at major Western bank said.

Gazprom placed the country's first Swiss franc Eurobond since the global financial crisis last week.
