Annotation:
One of the most acute problems faced by stakeholders in Russia is the problem of performing cross-border financial transactions for settlements for goods and services with counterparties. The existing problem with cross-border payments can be divided into two components: settlements with friendly countries in rubles, yuan and other national currencies, and settlements in toxic currencies with European, American and other suppliers from unfriendly countries. Major Russian banks and business representatives will share their expert opinions on the possibilities of making cross-border payments in the context of the total destruction of previously established correspondent relationships, the new payment landscape and settlement infrastructure, and alternative international settlement tools, such as settlements under foreign economic contracts and cash loan agreements. Special attention will be paid to the topic of customs clearance, accounting and currency control of imported cash. Representatives of the FCS of Russia will take part in the discussion.
