Austria's RBI 'derecognizes' $1.41 billion claim from Rasperia for Q2
In June, a Russian court had rejected RBI's bid to lift an injunction banning the sale of its local subsidiary. The ban is tied to a lawsuit brought by Russian investment firm Rasperia after a collapsed deal in which RBI was ordered last year to pay 2 billion euros in damages.
RBI's board "concluded that the strict criteria under International Financial Reporting Standards for recognition of the expected proceeds from enforcement of legal recourse against Rasperia are no longer met," the Vienna-based bank said.
Raiffeisen plans to recoup much of the damages imposed in Russia through legal action in Austria aimed at recovering Rasperia assets there.
The bank said that derecognizing from legal claims will not affect its half-year results for 2025.
RBI is due to publish its semi-annual results towards the end of July.
The bank's dispute with Rasperia followed the failure of a deal that RBI hoped would have allowed it to unlock some of its frozen assets in Russia. RBI had sought to buy a stake in Vienna-based construction company Strabag, but pulled out under pressure from Washington.
"Despite the changed accounting treatment, the legal assessment remains unchanged, and RBI's Management Board maintains a high degree of confidence in its legal claim against Rasperia and the enforceability thereof against Rasperia's assets in Austria," RBI said.

Intel stock drops after Trump demands its CEO 'resign immediately,' calling him 'highly conflicted'
Intel's CEO is in the political crosshairs. President Donald Trump called on Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign on Thursday, adding to the challenges facing the largest US chipmaker. Trump called Tan "highly CONFLICTED" in a post on Truth Social, saying that he "must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem." Intel shares fell 5% in premarket trading following Trump's post. Its share price was down over 3% as of 11 a.m. in New York. Trump's missive came two days after Sen. Tom Cotton wrote a letter to the company's board of directors raising questions about Tan's reported investments in and ownership of Chinese companies, including some with alleged ties to the Chinese military. In April, Reuters reported that Tan had invested in hundreds of Chinese companies, including eight with ties to China's People's Liberation Army. An Intel spokesperson at the time told Reuters that "we handle any potential conflicts appropriately and provide disclosures as required by SEC rules" and that Tan had filled out questionnaires requiring disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. Sen. Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, also called attention to the fact that prior to becoming Intel CEO in March, Tan was the CEO of Cadence Design Systems, a company that pleaded guilty last week to illegally exporting technology to a Chinese military university. Cadence Design Systems agreed to pay $118 million in criminal penalties. Intel received a roughly $8 billion grant from the US government under the CHIPS and Science Act, a 2022 law designed to boost the American chip manufacturing industry. "Intel is required to be a responsible steward of American taxpayer dollars and to comply with applicable security regulations," Cotton wrote. "Mr. Tan's associations raise questions about Intel's ability to fulfill these obligations." Trump's call for Tan's resignation was quickly backed up by two GOP senators — Bernie Moreno of Ohio and Rick Scott of Florida. It's the latest challenge for the company, which recently warned that it could stop developing its 14A chip if it's "unable to secure a significant external customer and meet important customer milestones." The former tech giant has been battling high volatility in the stock market all year, as it faces steep competition from rivals. Wall Street sentiment toward Intel remains mixed but skews negative, with the majority of analysts maintaining either sell or hold ratings, according to data from Markets Insider. A White House official told Business Insider that Trump "remains fully committed to safeguarding our country's national and economic security. This includes ensuring that iconic American companies in cutting-edge sectors are led by men and women who Americans can trust."

The full list of U.S. tariffs in place around the world
After months of policy pivots, delays and negotiations from President Donald Trump, dozens of key U.S. trading partners were hit Thursday with "reciprocal" tariffs on their exports to the country. "IT'S MIDNIGHT!!! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TARIFFS ARE NOW FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!" Trump wrote on social media platform Truth Social. But even as the duties, which were updated just last week, kick in, much uncertainty remains. Below is a list of the latest tariffs, with the U.S administration stating that all other countries face a blanket 10% tariff rate: Various countries — such as Switzerland — are still vying for a deal with the U.S. to lower the levies on their goods. It comes after countries and regions, including the U.K., the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia, managed to strike trade frameworks. Others, though, are dealing with significant duties on top of Trump's reciprocal rate. This includes Brazil, which is facing a much higher total rate after Trump declared that Brazilian government policies were a threat to the U.S. India, also, has been hit with increased levies over its Russian oil purchases. Both countries are now facing 50% tariffs on their goods. India, however, still has some time before the full rate kicks in, with tariffs currently at 25%. Elsewhere, duties on U.S. neighbours Mexico and Canada were in play long before the reciprocal tariff announcement. They are currently facing levies of 25% and 35% respectively, with Mexico in limbo as Trump paused hiking tariffs on the country to allow for negotiations. China is another outlier. After trade tensions between the country and the U.S. escalated sharply and drove tariffs into triple-digits, the trading partners now appear to have achieved détente. Both sides agreed to reduced tariffs in May, with the truce due to last until Aug. 12. In the meantime, China is facing 30% tariffs.
