Just not go: the Kremlin has strengthened the conditions of exit from the Russian market

According to Western journalists, foreign companies have already suffered losses of more than $ 80 billion from their operations in Russia due to writing off and missing benefits. The Russian authorities are trying to buy the assets of foreign companies that are going to stop working in Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine. About it reports Reuters. It is noted that Russia has gradually strengthened the requirements for release since Western companies began to announce their departure.

Managers of many brands say that it is increasingly difficult for them to navigate new rules in the Russian market. According to journalists, foreign companies have already suffered losses of more than $ 80 billion from their operations in Russia due to writing off and missing benefits. Yes, on August 25, Heineken Brewery reported that she had sold all her assets in Russia in just 1 euro. The new owner of enterprises was the Russian Arnest Group.

At the same time, anonymous sources told reporters that during some agreements, Russian representatives demanded additional discounts, otherwise the Russian government will prohibit the purchase of assets. Thus, the government commission that controls foreign investments should approve agreements with the participation of companies from so-called "unfriendly" countries-those who do not support Russia in the war against Ukraine and have imposed sanctions against the aggressor country.

Banks and energy companies also depend on the decision of the Kremlin's owner Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, a source in a financial market that works with companies that want to leave the Russian Federation reported that the commission is turning some agreements back, stating that the amount should be 20-30% lower than the market price.

It should be reminded that on March 28 it became known that Western companies who wish to leave the market of the Russian Federation and sell their assets were obliged to make direct donations to the treasury of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that Russians try to replace products that have become familiar. For example, when the market left Coca-Cola, the airline "Aeroflot" began to treat its passengers with drinks "Tarhun" and "Baikal" from the Russian company "Chornovka".
