RBI: Raiffeisen Leasing Russland sanctioned by Kyiv has no presence in Ukraine

VIENNA, 29 January – RIA Novosti. The bank told APA on Sunday that the “daughter” of Raiffeisen Leasing Russland of Austrian bank Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), which has been sanctioned by Kyiv, has no presence in Ukraine.

The RBI said customers entering Ukraine with rental goods “could be affected” as a result of the sanctions. In addition, it is stated in the statement that Raiffeisen Leasing Russland has not entered into new lease agreements in Russia since February 24, 2022.

The Russian subsidiary of RBI Raiffeisen Leasing Russland has been on Ukraine’s sanctions list for “supporting the war”, the agency previously reported. Almost the entire RBI board has been placed on the proposed list of persons to be sanctioned. Previously, Kyiv urged Austrian companies to immediately leave the Russian market.

Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), in response to the request of the Central Bank of Ukraine (NBU) to exit the Russian market, explained the difficulties of leaving the Russian Federation and assured that they will evaluate all strategic opportunities. The bank also announced a quarterly decline in its loan portfolio, saying it had already realized a reduction in lending in the Russian Federation.

The agency said the sanctions also affected the Russian subsidiary of Austrian bank UniCreditBank.
