Austria stalls Russian sanctions over Raiffeisen blacklisting 

Reuters exclusively reported that Austria is seeking to have Raiffeisen Bank International, the biggest Western bank in Russia, struck off a Ukrainian blacklist in return for signing off fresh European Union sanctions on Russia, said two people familiar with the situation. 

Market Impact

Raiffeisen’s presence in Russia has proved divisive within its management as well as among the regional Landesbanks that control the group, with some advocating it leaves.
