Finnish ban on entry of bicycles from the Russian Federation, before the “Anabar” IPO: the main thing on November 13

World

• Finland has banned entry into the country from Russia by bicycle at three checkpoints due to the presence of illegal immigrants. This was announced by the deputy head of the border service of Southeast Finland, Jukka Lukkari.

Economy

• The Russian government plans to introduce exceptions to flexible export duties linked to the ruble exchange rate. Goods for personal use, shipments of goods less than €200 and some tax-free products may be exempt from them.

Business

• Anabar Market Sales Management System, founded by Cian people, created Anabar JSC; This structure is necessary for the company to carry out the pre-IPO procedure. In the future, the owners are considering selling the company to a strategic investor or going public.
• Electronics distributor and manufacturer Fplus (formerly Marvel Distribution) wants to sue its founder Sergei Girdin and two former top managers for 2.1 billion rubles. The claims may be related to a contract worth 1.6 billion rubles concluded in 2017 for the supply of equipment to the IT integrator Asteros, which later went bankrupt, Kommersant has learned.

Transport

• Russian dealers were unable to sell the remains of cars from brands that had left the country. For example, Kia still has the 2022 Cerato and Seltos in stock, while Volkswagen still has the Taos and Tiguan.
• The first two imported SJ-100 aircraft will arrive at Aeroflot no earlier than 2024. Regular flights could begin in the second half or at the end of next year, as it is necessary to “complete all prescribed tests with new systems to obtain full certification” , writes Kommersant.
