 According to the RBC Daily on Monday, which cited two sources in the investment market, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has restructured its Russian assets. This might bring the US bank closer to a complete exit from the nation. Since Russia put tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine last year, American banks have reduced their exposure to the country, but international lenders need special approval from President Vladimir Putin to sell holdings. In November, Goldman Sachs announced that it has cut its credit exposure to Russia by 9 percent to $205 million in the third quarter after announcing in March that it was closing down its business in the country. One of RBC's sources claimed that local management had purchased Goldman's asset portfolio, which included minority shares in the employment agency headhunter and the real estate database Keyin. An email seeking comment was not immediately answered by Goldman Sachs. Putin signed an order on August 5 that forbade foreign investors from selling stock and important banks and energy projects. Putin was given the authority to provide exceptional waivers for particular transactions under that order, which is currently in effect until the end of 2023. What do you think about this occurrence?
