The company will use the Iranian experience.
The world’s second largest aluminum producer Russian company “RUSAL” has found a way to circumvent us sanctions. Instead of dollar calculations she wants to spend in euros. So at the time did sanctions Iranian companies, when the dollar went on the gold, oil and Japanese yen.
About it reports Reuters, citing informed sources. In the “RUSAL” has refused comments.
“RUSAL” has launched a protective plan in the Iranian style,” – said a top Manager of the company-shareholder of “RUSAL”. The source declined to name the banks which will be engaged in transaction processing.
We will remind, last week the U.S. Treasury has included seven Russian oligarchs and 12 related companies to the list of prohibited persons, citing “malicious acts” of Russia. In the sanctions list, “Putin’s friends” included including businessman Oleg Deripaska. He owns the largest block of shares among other shareholders of RUSAL, which also came under U.S. sanctions. According to analysts CRU, RUSAL accounts for 14% of the world’s supply of aluminum, excluding the largest supplier of China.
U.S. sanctions prohibit U.S. persons from doing business with entrepreneurs and companies from the list, which greatly complicates recent calculations in dollars.
“In Europe there are a number of banks that can provide payments in Euro. Some clients RUSAL has already started the transition to the Euro, but it takes time,” – said the source.
