Russia - suggested financial sanctions
* FATF black list - it is behaving like terrorist state;
* Get JPM and BAML to kick Russian assets out of EMBi and MSCI. It’s the worst possible ESG story why are these big US banks encouraging investors to invest in Russia by its index inclusion?
* Sanction CBR - not heard any reason why not a good idea.
* Kick Russia out of SWIFT - Russia said this would be an act of war, when Moscow already declared war with its attack on Ukraine. It looks like this is happening next week.
* Ban Western public sector pension funds from investing in Russian assets - this should happen Monday! Indeed, why on earth were idiotic asset managers at these firms investing in Russia are the clear threats from our governments?
* Sanction ALL Russian oligarchs unless they come out publically against Putin. Blanket ban - they have to give good reason why we should not sanction them. That’s all the Forbes 100 list to start. Give them 24H to make their choice, Putin or their money in the West.
