Companies attempting to exit Russia face heightened challenges due to increased exit taxes, currently at 35%, and mandatory sale discounts rising to 60%. These measures enforce stricter government controls aimed at retaining foreign investments amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The stringent measures, including a 60% sale discount and a 35% exit tax, represent an escalation in Russia's restrictive policies, designed to deter companies from divesting amid the ongoing economic climate sparked by the Ukraine conflict.
Since the onset of the Ukraine war, foreign firms have collectively reported losses exceeding $100 billion, reflecting the significant financial toll and risks associated with divestment from Russia.
Despite significant businesses retracting operations, more than 1,700 foreign companies remain active in Russia, illustrating the complex decisions facing firms between local compliance and global reputation amid sanctions.
