Impact of EU sanctions on EU investors

On the 18th of July 2025 the Council of the European Union introduced a transaction ban with many Russian financial institutions, including Sberbank. EAHCISS is concerned about the impact this transaction ban may have on European investors that cannot avoid transactions with these Russian financial institutions due to (automatic) dividend or interest payments.

Today we sent a letter to the Council of the European Union and the responsible department within the European Commission (Directorate-General FISMA) to express our concerns. The full letter can be read via this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/140ybZCyVZLWnwDPhg32ad09VVpvFMPqT/view?usp=sharing
