Tomorrow President Vladimir Putin will come to the RSPP congress, where, in addition to protocol events, he will hold a closed meeting with Russian billionaires. Businessmen will discuss the possible actions of the authorities with the President in connection with the problems that Russian businessmen have already begun after the publication of the “Kremlin List” of the US Treasury.

• The fact that the oligarchs will discuss with Putin the Kremlin List, said the head of the RSPP Alexander Shokhin. The list included 15 of the 28 members of the RSPP Bureau, it is necessary to “understand whether any actions on the part of the authorities are needed,” said Shokhin.
• He separately noted the problems of Oleg Deripaska - yesterday it became known that English intelligence had questions for last year's London IPO of his company EN+. “This is already a demonstration that each transaction, which formally does not fit the sanctions, will be increased attention <...>. The “Kremlin list” is not sanctioned, but increased observation has already begun, ”the head of the RSPP concluded.
• On Tuesday, Bloomberg said that the participants of the Kremlin List have already encountered problems with Western banks and partners.
• One of the billionaires told the agency that he was afraid of the breakdown of the transaction with the Western company, which was supposed to be closed in the near future. The American company Financial Integrity Network, advising the banking banks, recommended that the list participants as “politically significant persons”, which means to clients with increased risk.
• The list , published on January 29, included 96 Russian businessmen - all Russians with a fortune of more than $ 1 billion, according to the rating of the Russian Forbes.
• The only response measure announced by the state will be the development of a law on violation of the sovereignty of the Russian Federation, which is unlikely to help businessmen.
• At a previous meeting with the business in December last year, Putin promised a new amnesty of capital (it has already been launched ) and the release of special proprieties, with which entrepreneurs can return money to Russia.

What am I to me?

If billionaires for the topic of the “Kremlin list” will be able to get new preferences from the authorities, they, like the amnesty of capital, can benefit the rest of Russian business.
