Thus, the government intends to respond to the mass exodus of foreign companies in connection with the anti-Russian sanctions imposed. Earlier, First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov indicated that an accelerated bankruptcy procedure for such organizations is also possible.
Earlier, the Ministry of Economics proposed the prompt introduction of external management to foreign companies that are going to leave the Russian Federation. The department considered that the interception should take place if the companies simultaneously meet two conditions: they are more than 25% owned by foreign persons from unfriendly states, and the balance sheet value of assets, according to financial statements as of the last reporting date, is more than 1 billion rubles, and the average number of employees is over a hundred people.
