Andrea Enria, head of the supervisory board of the European Central Bank (ECB), urged European banks in Russia to leave the country as soon as possible. Transmits words Bloomberg.
According to Enria, last year European credit institutions reduced their presence in the Russian market by 37%, but this is still not enough. He explained that the ECB is asking banks to develop “roadmaps” for leaving the Russian Federation and to timely report on progress in their implementation.
“I have expressed my concerns many times that banks are making disappointingly little progress in mitigating risks arising from continued operations in the Russian market,” the chairman of the ECB supervisory board said.
formerly Enria declarationThat the leadership of the ECB not only supported the withdrawal of eurozone banks from the Russian market, but also put the appropriate pressure on them. The main reason for this behavior of the currency regulator is that the continued work of European credit institutions in the domestic market of the Russian Federation is associated with a “huge reputational risk” in connection with the current international sanctions against Moscow.
