Webinar: Prospects for the Use of Frozen Assets of the Central Bank of Russia | PISM Latest Report

Watch the full recording of the PISM (Polish Institute of International Affairs) webinar on their latest report, "Prospects for the Use of Frozen Assets of the Central Bank of Russia." This critical discussion delves into one of the most pressing international economic and legal challenges facing the global community. The report is available here: https://pism.pl/publications/prospect... In response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, significant Russian state assets, including those of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), were frozen. With the immense cost of Ukraine's reconstruction, estimated in hundreds of billions to a trillion dollars, the use of these frozen assets has become a central point of debate for funding Ukraine's recovery and serving as a deterrent against future aggression. This webinar provides an in-depth look at the political, legal, and economic considerations surrounding potential decisions on these funds. The PISM report, which is the focus of this discussion, analyzes five main scenarios for the use of frozen CBR funds: Direct confiscation and transfer to Ukraine Payment of compensation awarded by international courts and tribunals Payment of damages awarded by the international claims commission Using CBR assets as collateral for loans or bonds Treating CBR assets as collateral for reparation payments under a future peace agreement.
