The UK economy in the next nine years will lose about £6.2 billion ($7.9 billion or about ₽617 billion) due to anti-Russian sanctions, writes The Telegraph, citing official analytics.
Luxury goods exports will suffer the most: by 2030, they will lose over $1.1 billion (₽87.7 billion) due to the suspension of sales of Bentley and Aston Martin cars, as well as Burberry clothing and accessories. At the same time, according to the publication, manufacturers of such goods fully support the measures introduced by the government. The computer industry will lose about $5.2 million (more than ₽400 million), oil refining equipment suppliers - $8.6 million (about ₽665 million).
Telegraph notes that the calculations take into account not only the cost of goods, but also additional income, including, for example, funds from the sale of insurance.
Great Britain imposed sanctions against Konashenkov, Chupriyan and Kalashnikov Politics
Britain, like the US and the EU, imposed tough sanctions against Russia after the start of military operations in Ukraine. At the end of February, high-tech goods fell under the restrictions: microelectronics, marine and navigation equipment. In March, London banned the export of luxury goods, aviation and space products and technologies to Russia.
In 2021, the UK imported goods to Russia that are now under sanctions for almost $1 billion, or ₽77.2 billion - they accounted for 27.9% of all exports to the country, the Telegraph notes.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called the restrictions illegal. The representative of the department, Maria Zakharova, promised London "reciprocal proportional tough measures."
