The Russian government is stepping up pressure on companies amid attempts to cover rising military spending, Bloomberg writes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to meet in the Kremlin this week with top Russian businessmen for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine. This was reported on March 13 by Bloomberg, citing sources.
It is noted that the March 16 meeting with the participation of leading members of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) will take place against the backdrop of the Russian government’s attempts to contain growing military spending.
According to the newspaper, Russian authorities are increasing pressure on companies to pay more taxes. Last year’s meeting with the oligarchs was canceled because of the fight.
“In his speech this year, Putin plans to focus on reviving the economy and increasing the responsibility that businesses currently face… Meanwhile, oligarchs hope to express concern about the growing role of the state in economy and push for measures to liberalize the business environment.” , the article says.
Among the expected “relaxation” – the elimination of criminal penalties for certain economic crimes, including money laundering.
It was previously reported that Russian politicians and businessmen understood that the war was lost.
