Sanctions against Russian business and personally Oleg Deripaska influenced world aluminum market. The shares of “Rusal” corporation lost almost 23%. This is the lowest cost for the last 18 years. The depreciation started in April, after the US sanctions against the company itself and its owner. “Rusal” ‘s share in the world aluminum market is almost 10%. Because of restrictions, customers can not buy metal from “Rusal”. This caused the increase of aluminum price.
For the first days of sanctions, Deripaska lost 2 billion dollars.
Russian government promised to help the businessmen who had suffered because of sanctions.
