About the event

Foreign owners from so-called “unfriendly” states wishing to sell Russian assets are faced with increasingly difficult exit conditions. Obtaining permission from the Ministry of Finance of Russia for such transactions takes a long time and promises only limited success, and the amount of payments to the state budget is steadily growing. Last week, the Russian Ministry of Finance announced a new toughening of the rules for foreign owners' exit from Russian assets.

At the same time, new Russian owners of acquired companies have begun to receive official requests regarding the fulfillment of key indicators established in the permissions for exit they received.

Join our online event to know more about these recent changes and explore their implications for your business in Russia.

16:30 – 17:30 (GMT+3)
