Some of the factories were transferred to Russian companies
Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov said that only 100 European companies out of 500 have officially left the Russian market, while the majority have the right to repurchase.
«This figure is from the Association of European Businesses. Of the 500 large European companies, I do not take those with a turnover of less than half a billion rubles a year, from different European countries. Of the 500, only 100 have officially gone so far, which is 20%. However, I will not name which of them; most of them have options by decision of the president. Now this is limited to two years, but there are such options— he said.
As for large American companies represented on the Russian market, out of 350 companies, 66 or about 19% left the Russian market: “That is, this suggests that our market is interesting and our potential is also interesting, including having I mean the cost of energy resources. You see what is happening in Europe. There, enterprises are really, like shagreen leather, gradually shrinking».
The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation added that Russia plans to continue to attract foreign investment and create appropriate conditions both for individual specialists and for investors and owners of enterprises who are ready to come from abroad. ;.
Over the past couple of years, several large factories that previously belonged to European companies, in particular Renault, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and others, have become the property of Russian companies. If you don’t get attached to the European region, then of course you shouldn’t forget about the Nissan and Hyundai factories.
