As Izvestia found out, on December 22, the State Duma will take another decision to postpone the consideration of the bill “On Amendments to the Law” On Measures of Influence (Counteraction) on Unfriendly Actions of the United States and Other Foreign States. “
The document envisages introducing a ban for Russian banks to send foreign countries information about clients and the operations they perform, with the exception of cases stipulated by the government.
In addition, according to the bill, financial organizations must report such requests to Rosfinmonitoring and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation within one working day.
According to Izvestia, it was originally planned that the document, submitted by the Cabinet of Ministers to the State Duma on June 15, would be adopted at the end of this year. However, the new norms on October 13 passed only the first reading. And although the second was planned by the deputies for November and then for December, it never took place. Now, sources say MPs are talking about 2022.
“I can assume that this delay is due to the US sanctions, which they recently reiterated. This is the disconnection of Russia from the international interbank SWIFT system, the introduction of a ban on the exchange of our currency for foreign, the blocking of accounts and assets. We also made a number of statements in response, “Nikolai Arefiev, first deputy chairman of the State Duma’s profile committee on economic policy, explained to Izvestia.
The Ministry of Finance reported that “this bill will be finalized, the Ministry of Finance supports its adoption.” The press service of the department did not specify what exactly needs to be changed in the document.
