The Use of Special Bank Accounts to Protect the National Interests of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The authors analyze the legal regulation of the use of special bank accounts of various types (literal) in the context of the anti-bankruptcy policy pursued by the Russian Federation. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the regime of a group of special accounts of type “C” (banking, brokerage, clearing, trust management and others) used for settlements on loans and some other financial obligations, accounts of type “O” used for settlements with intellectual property rights holders, accounts of type “I” and “D” for securities settlements. All these accounts make it possible to make settlements with persons from unfriendly jurisdictions and at the same time limit the withdrawal of funds from the Russian economy. The use of accounts of type “K” and type “Z” for obtaining settlements by Russian exporters of gas and grain is also being considered. The conclusion is that these legal instruments are effectively used to ensure Russia’s national interests. The need to move from regulatory regulation to legislative regulation is also emphasized.
