RUSSIAN Payments Collapse

Video Summary

Russia is facing significant problems in its trade with China due to Western sanctions. The US Treasury has threatened to impose secondary sanctions on Chinese banks and financial institutions that deal with Russia, which has led to Chinese banks tightening their compliance checks and restrictions on transactions with Russia. As a result, Russian businesses are now facing delays and rising costs in making and receiving payments from China, with transactions worth tens of billions of dollars being stuck in limbo. The Russian economy is struggling to survive, with low cash reserves, rising costs, and a lack of access to credit from Chinese lenders. This has led to a liquidity crisis, causing Russian businesses to borrow from the Russian Central Bank, which is resulting in increased costs and a reduced ability to make payments to and from China. The impact is being felt across various industries, including car manufacturing and mining, with companies like Norilsk Nickel and other Russian businesses struggling to cope with the financial difficulties. The sanctions are also having a significant impact on Russia’s economy, with imports from China falling and the country’s overall trade with China dropping. The situation is expected to worsen over the next 6-12 months, with a potential huge reduction in imports and exports.
