Moody's: New US sanctions can limit investments in Russia

MOSCOW, Aug 7 (PRIME) -- Recently introduced U.S. sanctions against Russia can limit the inflow of investments in the country and are therefore a negative factor, international rating agency Moody’s said in a statement on Monday.

The experts of the agency also said that the measures can worsen relations between Russia and Western counties even more.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a bill introducing additional sanctions against Russia among several other states. The bill prohibits companies to invest more than U.S. $1 million in a single payment or more than $5 million during the course of a year in construction of Russian export pipelines, as well as provision of goods, services, technologies and information support for the construction.
