“Sanctions are likely to concern both restrictions on the operations of the banks themselves (complicating their work in foreign markets) and fines against their counterparties, which along the chain can affect a fairly wide range of companies.
I do not think that this will lead to a significant impact on the creditworthiness of Russian banks: they have been working under sanctions for a long time and are still coping with their pressure, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
The most significant possible sanctions will have an impact on the activities of Russian non-financial companies, Piven said.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, urged not to rely on unconfirmed media speculation about the threat of sanctions against Russian banks.
