Special Legal Regulation in the Financial and Corporate Sectors under Sanctions Pressure
Congress Centre, conference hall D3
2022 was marked by a material change in the configuration of the financial and corporate sectors. The rapidly changing environment brought about by sanctions pressure, among other things, required an immediate response. Decrees issued by the President of the Russian Federation were the only means of ensuring adequate legal regulation in the rapidly changing environment, with the adaptability of their application supported by the decision-making mechanisms of the Government Commission on Monitoring Foreign Investment in the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia’s ability to issue official clarifications and adopt regulatory decisions of the Bank’s Board of Directors. Will this “temporary” special legal regulation become “permanent”?
