Geo Highlights
Russia Responds to Sanctions by Importing Goods Without Right Holder Permission, Implements Frameworks to Counter Sanctions
Industries Impacted: Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Information Technology
Sanctions on Russia, together with reduced access to imported technologies, the exodus of foreign firms, and skilled Russian workers, will possibly have a long term impact on Russia’s economy. As a result, Russia is resorting to measures to limit the impact of sanctions, such as legalizing parallel imports, nationalizing foreign assets, admitting more Asian IT products into Russia, or resorting to its intelligence services to get technology. However, on parallel imports, Russia is unlikely to do this on a large scale as it will likely get continued support from allied countries.
