baby food business chernogolovka, and now the regulator has to approve the parameters of the transaction earlier. it is known that raiffeisenbank wants to decide the fate russian business, to sell a subsidiary structure or withdraw it from the perimeter of the group , the decision is clearly not an easy one. after all, the russian asset brought about 2 billion euros in profit last year. the share of the russian business of raiffeisen was approximately 50% of the profit, but now, due to increased regulatory pressure and sanctions , raiffeisentannational is considering options for leaving the russian market, which, of course, will negatively affect the business of the entire raiffeisen group, if, for example, raiffeisen remained in russia, then perhaps he would the object of sanctions in the event of withdrawal from russia on the contrary, in general. e sanctions are likely to be minus the side of raiffeisen as well, according to rbc, the american chemical corporation trim

a buyback and return option. what concerns, for example, the same ikea , it is irrevocable even if the company wishes to return to the russian market. it will be necessary to make all investments anew, because it is obvious that during this time, and the niche market will be occupied, and there are competitors, and one more nuance, the us treasury department obliged the companies of individuals, receives a special permit before paying the so-called tax on exit from russian assets, they told about this in the office of foreign assets control. while it is not known, here is an example of transactions that would be carried out under new conditions, that is, the payment of a mandatory contribution to the russian state, and if such transactions take place and payments
