Kremlin, asked about Raiffeisen assets, says unfriendly actions must have consequences
The Kremlin said on Thursday that unfriendly actions against Russia must have consequences, when asked whether Austrian bank Raiffeisen's assets were vulnerable after a Russian court ordered it to pay 2 billion euros ($2.08 billion) in damages. Monday's court order, over a collapsed deal, underscored the perils of doing business in Russia for Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), the largest Western bank still operating there. Russia's central bank in September warned subsidiaries of Western banks that remain in Russia not to yield to pressure from Western regulators and discriminate against their Russian clients by denying them services, such as money transfers abroad.

Analysis-Britain appeals to Big Tech with change of regulatory guard
Britain's choice of a former Amazon executive to chair its antitrust regulator is a clear pitch for investment, including from Big Tech, and signals it is prepared to go easier on deal-making if that would help, company bosses and lawyers said. Doug Gurr, former boss of the U.S. online retailer's UK operation, was picked to chair the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) after Marcus Bokkerink recognised "it was time to move on", finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Wednesday. With the economy struggling and pressure building on the government to improve living standards, Reeves wants regulators to change, believing they have become too risk-averse and are preventing companies from innovating and expanding.
