Punishment of the EU and the United States has not had an impact on the investment attractiveness of Russia, which confirms the high level of transactions, convicts, for example, this week, said the head of the Federal Antimonopoly service Igor Artemyev.
" in principle from the major powers are real, serious organizations asked the government to allow the contract. For this reason, for me, this signal is good, because it means We (Russia - ed) in the end remain attractive for investment. We are a big country, we have many interesting things to buy that you can develop, " he told reporters Artemiev.
He said that at the meeting of the governing Council for control over foreign investments, which took place on the first day of the week, it was agreed a few large transactions.
" When the American Company Abbott bought our largest manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, Swiss who subscribed to all the sanctions in the face of the organization (Holcim - edit) bought cement plants in Russia, " said Artemyev. Abbott buys " Veropharm " and his " daughter " structures entrepreneur Roman Avdeev for $ 650 million. Another 250 million dollars to the American Company plans to invest in production development." Veropharm " includes Voronezh chemical and pharmaceutical company, Belgorod enterprise for manufacturing of finished dosage forms and Pokrovsky, the company finished dosage forms. Revenue under IFRS in 2013 decreased by 4, 4% to 5, 3 billion rubles, net profit - 1, 9 times, up to 612 million.
Holcim acquires Russian cement plants owned by the Lafarge group, in the framework of the acquisition of this French organization. At the end of July, the U.S. and the European Union imposed against Russia fresh economic penalties in connection with the Ukrainian crisis. Moscow has stated many times that talking to her in the language of punishment is inappropriate and unproductive. Russia also stressed that is not a party to domestic conflict.
