Head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AMCHAM) Alexis Rodzianko in an interview with Lente.ru told about obstacles to the work of American companies in Russia.
According to Rodzianko, the Russian government does not limit the American business. “And I do not know examples when it would put some obstacles to business from the USA,” said Rodzianko.
He also said that obstacles exist from the United States and are associated with the sanctions superimposed on Russia: “Geopolitics and propaganda background intervened. Therefore, companies working in America and planning global expansion will think well before coming to Russia.”
The geopolitical situation, according to the chapter of Amcham, does not greatly affect the position of the American business in Russia: “Of course, it affects, and this is not a better influence that could be. And it is also with that, and on the other hand. However, the successes of our companies and business are here – they are simply evident. They say that it is possible to work and work successfully. “
Rodzianko is headed by the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, responsible for the relationship between the business of the two countries, since 2013. At the end of December, the second term of its powers expires, after which he will leave his post.
