The Great Britain’s authorities thought about restricting access to the London Exchange for companies that could pose a threat to the National Security of the United Kingdom. It is reported by Financial Times.
As indicated in the treasury of the country, the authorities in the near future think over the issue of regulating the work of the trading platform. Specific countries and companies representing a potential threat in the agency did not name. However, Forbes notes, the rules of placement on the London Exchange were seriously interested in EN + IPO, founded by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripskaya.
Now the decision on the IPO on the London Stock Exchange is adopted by a special division as part of the Financial Regulation and Supervision. In the future, the authorities want to give both the Council on National Security.
The White House introduced sanctions against Deripaska and controlled companies in 2018, although their work continued in temporary permits. At the beginning of 2019, restrictive measures against EN +, UC Rusal and Eurosibenergo were canceled. Then the United States recognized that the entrepreneur was out of business management.
At the end of 2020, Bloomberg learned that European officials were transferred to the US government a report on how Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska complies with the conditions for the abolition of sanctions in relation to a number of enterprises. A businessman, as an agency approved, does not fulfill an agreement with the American authorities and continues to control its companies and uses them to promote Russian influence. These accusations were called the drop against the entire Russian industry.
