Lawyers found a double threat to Russian banks due to US requests

Russian banks may face the threat of account blocking, loss of liquidity, bankruptcy, revocation of licenses and violations of banking and state secrets due to the new US law aimed at combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. This conclusion was made by lawyers who prepared a report for the Association of Banks of RUSSIA (ADB). ADB assesses these risks as very serious. The law, which came into force in January, gives US authorities the right to request information from foreign banks with correspondent accounts in US credit institutions. To do this, the United States must undergo a procedure for the confiscation of funds or a criminal investigation, in which accounts in these banks are checked for violations of anti-money laundering laws. Such US demands would be contrary to Russian law,

Four steel plants warned of the risk of shutdown

Heads of four electrometallurgical plants with a total revenue of more than 130 billion rubles. asked Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to postpone the imposition of EXPORT duties on metal. We are talking about the Abinsk Electrometallurgical Plant (AEMZ), its “daughter” Balakovo, the Ashinsky Metal Plant and the Far Eastern plant Amurstal, which until 2021 was associated with the family of the ex-head of the Khabarovsk Territory Sergey Furgal. In total, these enterprises employ 15,000 people.

Metallurgists believe that duties make the export of their finished products, fittings and semi-finished products unprofitable. it will be much more profitable to export raw materials - scrap metal, the prices for which now already reach $500 per ton. In addition, the volume of production of building steel, according to their calculations, exceeds the needs of the domestic market by about two times, and it will become more difficult for small plants to compete with holdings like Severstal and Evraz. All together can eventually lead to a stop in production.
