Bloomberg kirjoitti aamulla Kiinan valtion pankkien alkaneen arvioida uudelleen rahoituksen tarjoamista ja kauppasuhteiden kokonaan katkaisemista venäläisille Ukrainan sotaa edesauttaville asiakkailleen. Pelkäävät joutuvansa itse USA:n uusimman pakotelinjauksen mukaisesti sanktoiden kohteeksi.
"China’s state-owned banks are tightening curbs on funding to Russian clients after the US authorized secondary sanctions on overseas financial firms that aid Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine, people familiar with the matter said.
At least two banks ordered a review of their Russian business in recent weeks, focusing on cross-border deals, said the people, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. Banks will sever ties with clients on the sanctions list and will stop providing any financial services to the Russian military industry regardless of the currency or the location of the transactions, said the people."
The US Treasury Department said last month it would use secondary sanctions against banks that facilitate deals for Russia to procure equipment necessary for its war machine, expanding its financial battle against President Vladimir Putin."
Hassu 'sattuma' että myös TASS kirjoittaa tänään sanktioiden alaisten tuotteiden maksuliikenteen keskeytyneen venäjältä Turkkiin vuodenvaihteessa lähes kokonaan turkkilaisten pankkien pelätessä joutuvansa USA:n pakotteiden kohteeksi. Varmaankin jotakin samansuuntaista uutista kuullaan ehkäpä Intiasta ja joistakin muistakin venäjän kanssa vielä kauppaa käyvistä maista lähipäivinä.
"ANKARA, January 16. /TASS/. Turkish exporters are facing a cross-border payments squeeze as banks refuse to process money transfers from Russia to pay for supplies of goods, the Ekonomim newspaper said, citing sources in the business community.
The problem has started becoming critical since December, when many exporters began complaining that they were unable to access payments originating from Russia whether denominated in Turkish lira or Russian rubles. Such transfers were either directly sent back by certain private banks or declined at the initial stage, as they were alleged to be payments for sanctioned products. According to the newspaper, such cross-border money transfers have come to a virtual standstill since January 1 and the situation is critically affecting exports."
