Russian Business’ Off-shore Financial Networks
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2009-1-52-67
Abstract
The article considers a new tendency in the development of Russian off-shore business — transition to creating off-shore financial (financial-industrial) networks. Due to including companies from "soft" off-shores and sparring off shores the respectability of business in the whole grows while preserving the traditional off-shore benefits. The conflict of interests of business and the state towards off-shores that control 70—80% of Russian large private companies is shown; major off-shore risks under conditions of the current crisis are considered. The author assesses recent changes in Russia’s anti-off-shore policy and formulates some recommendations aimed at its perfection. It is also very important to improve national economic and political business environment in general.
