Keep Abreast of the Macro Implications of the Russian Invasion

Regulators around the world are pulling every possible lever to squeeze Russia in retaliation over the invasion of Ukraine. MLex® is reporting on the swathe of sanctions, interventions and prohibitions on Russian business through its coverage of trade, financial services and energy, with stories in this area easily searchable via the "Russia sanctions" filter.

Alongside wide-ranging bans on Russian imports (including steel and iron in the E.U. and spirits and diamonds in the U.S.), Biden’s broader plans to suspend Russia trade ties and E.U. prohibitions on new investments in Russian energy projects, there are moves in the U.S. and the E.U. to make life easier for businesses, cutting struggling companies some slack through state support and the temporary loosening of competition rules against cooperation.

These market disturbances and regulatory responses will inevitably have an impact on how competition in the U.S. and E.U. markets are viewed and should be taken into account in forthcoming reviews. In the meantime, you can rely on MLex to keep you abreast of the macro implications of the Russian invasion via our portfolios which offer a single forensic timeline of key developments alongside critical information on the authorities, courts and legal advisers involved.
