Russian residents are not allowed to buy stakes in companies that are not Russian residents without the central bank’s permission until the end of this year, the decree said.
The decree also said that Russian banks that were hit by Western sanctions can pay out FX deposits to companies in roubles using the actual rouble exchange rate until Sept. 1.
