what happened
Japan Tobacco said on Monday that three more of its entities in Russia have been placed under temporary administration following a presidential decree. All of the company's Russian units are now under such management, the Japanese company said in a statement reported by Dow Jones Newswires.
According to Russian state media, Vladimir Putin late on Thursday ordered that the company's Russian factories be handed to temporary management by a local firm. Japan Tobacco said its Russian operations continue to run at present.
why it matters
For markets, the story is another example of foreign corporate assets in Russia passing under state-directed control. The Japanese group loses influence over its factories in the country, which could affect its Russian revenue. The impact on Japan Tobacco shares is limited, but the risk remains for investors with exposure to Russia.
