Renault is selling its business in Russia, including a controlling stake in Lada, becoming the latest carmaker to exit the country over its assault on Ukraine.

The French company said it had agreed to sell Renault Russia to the city of Moscow and its stake of nearly 68% in Lada parent Avtovaz to a state-owned industry research center. Renault is keeping open the option of returning to Russia — the deal gives the company various windows to buy back its interest in Avtovaz over the next six years, the company added. Renault have 45,000 employees in Russia. Avtovaz's Lada brand represented nearly 21% of the Russian market in 2021. Lada — an icon of Soviet-era self-reliance — could, in theory, stand to benefit from the absence of foreign competition. But it is heavily dependent on imported parts. (16/05/2022).

The G7 group might impose tariffs on Russian oil as an alternative to an embargo, says representatives of the US Treasury Department.

At a meeting of G7 finance ministers, they will propose that the EU introduce tariffs on Russian oil as a faster alternative to a direct oil embargo. The tariffs will be designed to keep Russian oil on the market, but limit the amount of revenue that can come to Moscow from exports. A direct EU embargo could significantly raise oil prices. This, in turn, may offset the impact of the embargo on Russian revenues, even if exports are reduced. In addition, funds from such duties could be channeled to Ukraine's Reconstruction Fund, forcing Russia to pay for the destruction it has brought to Ukraine. (18/05/2022).

Pope says NATO may have caused Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Francis says NATO was ‘barking’ at Russia’s door.

Pope Francis said that NATO “barking” at Russia’s door may have led to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine — and said he has offered to meet the Russian president in Moscow. In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Francis reflected on Russia’s lethal aggression toward its neighbor and said while he might not go as far as saying NATO’s presence in nearby countries “provoked” Moscow, it “perhaps facilitated” the invasion. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Francis has repeatedly criticized the invasion, while avoiding naming Putin explicitly, in line with the Vatican’s foreign policy of keeping the door open for possible dialogue.

The number of businesses closed in Ukraine decreased from 32% to 17%.

As of the end of April, the number of enterprises that had entirely ceased operations fell to 17% from 32% at the beginning of the full-scale war, as stated in the monthly macroeconomic and monetary review of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). At the same time, small and medium-sized businesses are recovering more slowly than larger ones. According to the NBU, most enterprises operating in agriculture, transport and processing resumed operations at the end of April. The most challenging situation is observed in the construction and mining industry, where trade congestion remains well below the pre-war level. (09/05/2022).

Germany currently receives a quarter less gas transported through Ukraine after the Ukrainian authorities closed the pipeline because the key compressor station was in Russia’s hands.

The German government has rejected speculation that it may activate the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany to compensate for gas flow reduction through Ukraine, stated the press secretary of the German Ministry of Energy, Annika Eingorn. “Nord Stream 2 died after Russia attacked Ukraine, and no one is thinking of switching back to it,” she said. She also noted that most of Russia’s gas comes to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. However, Germany has pledged to stop importing Russian gas no later than 2024. (12/05/2022).

One of Germany's biggest energy firms Uniper, ready to meet Russian pay demand

Under the Russian decree, European importers must pay euros or dollars into an account at a Russian Bank. Uniper will pay into Gazprombank, the Swiss-based trading arm of Gazprom, and then convert this into roubles in a second account in Russia. The European Commission said last week that if buyers of Russian gas could complete payments in euros and get confirmation of this, before any conversion into roubles took place, that would not breach sanctions. Europe gets about 40% of its natural gas from Russia, but it is much higher for some countries and sudden supply cuts could have a huge economic impact. (28/04/2022). Source : bbc.com

India has asked state energy firms to consider buying Russian oil assets from BP and Exxon Mobile Corp. due to sanctions on Russia.

Rosneft
The call on Indian companies to explore buying the stake in Rosneft came after BP CEO Bernard Looney met Indian oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri in March. BP has announced it is abandoning its 19.75% stake in Rosneft.

Sakhalin 1
India Oil ministry also asked Oil and Natural Gas Corp (OVL) to consider buying a 30% stake held by Exxon Mobile Corp, in the Sakhalin 1 project in Russia's Far East. Exxon is the operator of the project. OVL already holds a 20% stake in the project. Exxon said on March 1 it would exit about $4 billion in assets and discontinue all its Russia operations, including Sakhalin 1. Exxon said on its Russian unit Exxon Neftegas Ltd has declared force majeure for its Sakhalin-1 operations due to sanctions on Russia that have made it increasingly difficult to ship crude to customers.

Vankorneft
OVL also holds 26% stake in Vankorneft, owner of the Venkor field in the West Siberian Basin. Separately, a consortium of Oil India, IOC, and BPRL, the exploration arm of state refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp, holds a 23.9% stake in Vankorneft and a 29.9% stake in Taas-Yuryakh in east Siberia.

Starting this year, the mix of currencies in Israel’s reserves ($206 Billion) will expand from the trio of the US dollar, euro, and British pound to include the Canadian and Australian dollars, as well as the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan. The pound and yen will account for 5 percent of the reserves, and the currencies of Canada and Australia will each have 3.5 percent, according to Bloomberg. The reshuffle means the euro’s share will fall from 30% to 20%, and the dollar will account for 61%, down from 66.5%. The share of the British pound will double to 5%, returning to a level last seen in 2011. (21/04/2022). Source : Bloomberg.com

India prepares to clear re-imported Russia bound stuck containers, to let them enter back to the country, without delay.

Around 3,000 such containers reportedly remain stranded in those ports failing to sail for Russia. Amid the situation, many exporters have been trying to bring back these boxes while some are trying to sell the containers to other destinations or send them by road. However, exporters, whose billions of dollars worth goods remained stuck, are now facing huge charges as the ship operators are demanding demurrage and detention charges before the containers are re-loaded to the vessels towards India.
Many other Russian allies are sending containers to Moscow through the Chinese port of Quindao and from Turkish ports by road. Some exporters are also reportedly using Iran’s Chahbahar port via road from Azerbaijan to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. (25/04/2022). Source : container-news.com

The European Union fails to agree on the Russian energy embargo. The member states of the EU did not decide on a full ban or an increase in tariffs on imports of Russian oil and gas.

This according to the High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell. "...Stopping oil and gas imports or a punitive tariff would be important to pressure Putin and put him at the negotiating table. But now we in the EU do not have a single position on this issue...". Borrell said the issue would be discussed at the next EU summit in late May and that he did not expect any decision on the matter before then. According to Borrell, all EU countries are working to reduce their dependence on Russian oil and gas, adding that he believes the bloc will eventually be able to reduce its Russian energy reliance.

Vietnam unveils plans for US $ 1.5 billion-worth container shipping fleet, to replace global shipping companies, exposed to western sanctions rules.

With learning from the disruptions caused due to Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) has moved to acquire its own fleet to run businesses on Asian shipping routes to China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, India, Singapore and the Middle East. The move is taken after Vietnam Maritime Administration said the closure of services by major European shipping lines to and from Russia can create opportunities for Vietnamese ship owners to increase their market share in the days to come. At the same time, the VLA sought cooperation from enterprises involved in mechanics, iron and steel, textiles, footwear, furniture, seafood and general food goods so that the cargo volume for the local fleet is ensured. The association will be using about 25 ships, 1,800 TEU to 2,500 TEU vessels, since this type of ship can directly dock at Hai Phong port due to its low draft, below 9.5 meters. (14/04/2022).

Ukraine, Russia and Belarus were key to Europe’s supply of wooden pallets. The war and sanctions upended this market, The European Pallet Association (EPAL) says.

EPAL have warned that wooden pallets may soon become harder to find in Europe due to the war in Ukraine. That’s because Europe, in normal times, massively imports its wooden pallets and the materials to make them from three countries: Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. The war in Ukraine, combined with retaliatory Western sanctions against Russia and its ally Belarus, effectively eliminated that entire source of supply. The result is a sudden rise in pallet prices and the risk of running out of pallets.
If an organization want to have an efficient supply chain, commerce or military, you keep your products on pallets as far down the supply chain as you can, because as soon as you have to remove them from the pallet, your efficiency drops. (17/04/2022). Source : euronews.com

The overall US Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) spiked by 1.2% in March from February, and by 8.5% from a year ago, the worst since 1981, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today.

Inflation is spiking, and the Fed is still repressing short-term interest rates to near 0%, and it still holds $8.9 trillion in assets on its balance sheet as a result of years of money printing, including $4.8 trillion that it printed over the past two years. High inflation is not a sign of anything positive, but a sign of the loss of the purchasing power of the consumer’s dollar, including the purchasing power of labor. In March 2022, the purchasing power of $100 in January 2000 dropped to a new record low of $58.80. (12/04/2022). Source : wolfstreet.com

Goldman Sachs and IMF warns the dollar is at risk of losing its dominance, and could end up a lesser player like the UK pound in the early 1900s and was supplanted by the dollar in the middle of the 20th century.

The move by the US and its allies to freeze Russia's central bank out of much of its foreign currency reserves has raised concerns that countries could start moving away from using the dollar, due to worries about the power the currency grants the US. US has a relatively small share of global trade compared to the dominance of the dollar in global payments. IMF said increased use of other currencies in world trade would cause national central banks to diversify the foreign reserves that they hold, at the expense of the US Dollar.

High shipping rates could increase inflation by 1.5%. Effects are quite persistent, peaking after a year and lasting up to 18 months. (IMF).

This according to an analysis by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The study also shows that higher shipping costs hit prices of imported goods at the dock within two months, and quickly pass through to producer prices — many of whom rely on imported inputs to manufacture their goods.

What paying for gas in rubles means for "unfriendly" foreign buyers. President Putin`s decree signed March 31, set the deadline to switch, for April 1.

Do foreign companies have to buy rubles? Not necessarily. They can transfer the Euro or Dollar to a Russian Bank. (Such as Gazprombank). The Russian Bank will convert them to Ruble and that Ruble will be used for Gas Payment to Gazprom. No Euro or Dollar will reside in any account in a foreign country. So they cannot be confiscated as has been done with Russian Foreign assets. This way it does not violate existing contracts, as buyers will continue to make payments in their currency of choice. New contracts or spot contract Russia can insist payment in ruble. («Petro-Ruble»). Source : President Putin`s decree 31/03/2022.
