US businesses lose $100 billion due to their own sanctions
The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Russia has estimated the direct losses for US businesses due to Western sanctions at approximately $100 billion, with total losses around $300 billion when factoring in potential losses. According to AmCham's survey, American companies rated the damage from their own US sanctions at 8 out of 10, while they rated Russian countersanctions at 5 out of 10. This indicates that US businesses perceive their own sanctions as more damaging than the Russian response.
AmCham President Robert Ayres pointed out another issue: over the past four years, US businesses in Russia have generated around $20 billion in profit, which could not be sent as dividends due to investment prohibitions. The chamber is in talks with the US administration about lifting investment restrictions in Russia, believing that this would facilitate the transfer of dividends.
The data exemplifies a paradox of the sanctions policy. American companies have found themselves among the primary victims of measures enacted by their own government, while the Russian countersanctions have inflicted comparatively less damage.
