Avertismentul unui bancher rus de top: „Ei încearcă să pună banii deoparte, spunând: «Păi oricum o să ni-i ia»”

Andrei Kostin, a top Russian banker, highlighted concerns over asset confiscation discouraging investments in Russia. Since 2022, the state has seized assets worth approximately $89.5 billion, raising fears among companies about property rights. Kostin noted that many entrepreneurs are hesitant to invest in core operations, preferring to safeguard their funds. He acknowledged the exaggerated nature of these fears but emphasized the need for a protective business environment. The Russian government has enacted laws to address rising confiscations, while foreign companies face similar challenges. Despite a deteriorating investment climate, there is increased interest from Chinese and Arab investors, with future improvements dependent on geopolitical stability.
