Германы худалдааны “Globus” сүлжээний ОХУ дахь салбар болох “Hyperglobus”-ын хяналтын зөвлөлд Герхард Шрёдер томилогдсон нь тус компанийн стратегийн шийдвэр гэж үзэж байна.
Германы канцлер асан Герхард Шрёдер ОХУ-д үйл ажиллагаа явуулдаг “Hyperglobus” компанийн хяналтын зөвлөлд элссэн тухай баасан гарагт мэдээлжээ. Компанийн эзэн Томас Брухын мэдэгдснээр, Шрёдер нь ОХУ-д “яриа хэлэлцээнд суурилсан хандлага”-ыг хадгалахад туслах хамгийн тохиромжтой хүн юм. Тэрээр тус компанийн хүнсний салбар дахь хөрөнгө оруулалт болон бизнесийн стратегийн хөгжлийг дэмжих үүрэг хүлээх юм.
Энэхүү томилгоо нь ОХУ-ын эрх баригчид өрнөдийн орнуудын компаниудын хөрөнгийг хураан авах эрсдэл нэмэгдэж буй үед хийгдсэн стратегийн алхам хэмээн “Коммерсант” сонинд онцолжээ. ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путин гадаадын компаниудын үйл ажиллагаанд хяналт тогтоохыг барууны орнууд ОХУ-ын төрийн хөрөнгийг царцаасантай холбоотой “тэгш хэмтэй хариу арга хэмжээ” хэмээн тайлбарласан байна.
ОХУ-ын эрх баригчид сүүлийн үед Metro Cash & Carry, Nestlé, Auchan, Leman Pro зэрэг гадаадын томоохон компаниудын дотоод үйл ажиллагаанд хяналтаа тогтоогоод байгаа юм. “Globus” групп өөрийн ОХУ дахь салбараа хууль эрх зүйн болон үйл ажиллагааны хувьд тусгаарласан гэж мэдэгдсэн ч тус компани Москва орчимд шинэ дэлгүүрүүдээ өргөтгөсөөр байна.
Герхард Шрёдер нь ОХУ-ын “Rosneft” болон “Nord Stream” зэрэг төрийн өмчит томоохон компаниудын удирдах зөвлөлд өмнө нь ажиллаж байсан туршлагатай юм. Владимир Путин түүнийг Европын холбоо болон ОХУ-ын хоорондох хэлэлцээрт зуучлагчаар ажиллуулах санал дэвшүүлж байсан ч Берлин болон Брюсселийн зүгээс үүнийг хүлээн аваагүй байна.

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has joined the supervisory board of Hyperglobus, the Russian arm of the German superstore chain Globus, business media reported Friday.
The appointment comes as Western retailers face the risk of state asset seizures, which President Vladimir Putin defended as a response to the EU freezing its state funds.
Hyperglobus owner Thomas Bruch praised Schröder as an “ideal addition” who would help maintain a “dialogue-oriented approach” in Russia, according to a statement published by Kommersant.
Schröder was quoted emphasizing the importance of maintaining economic ties and investing in Russia’s food sector. He will be responsible for supporting the strategic development of the business, RBC cited the company as saying.
Schröder’s appointment marks a strategic move to safeguard the company from state seizures, according to Kommersant.
Putin has previously proposed Schröder as the EU’s representative in potential talks with Russia. Brussels and Berlin have rejected the candidacy of Schröder, who is Putin’s longtime personal acquaintance and who has previously headed the boards of Russian state energy giants Rosneft and Nord Stream.
Russian authorities recently took control of the domestic operations of German wholesaler Metro Cash & Carry, Swiss food giant Nestlé, French retailers Auchan and Leroy Merlin (renamed to Leman Pro in Russia), as well as two French logistics companies.
On Thursday, Putin defended the asset seizures as a “symmetrical response” to Western freezes of Russian state assets abroad. He noted that control could eventually be returned under “favorable conditions.”
Globus, which operates 21 hypermarkets across Russia, has restructured to maintain its presence in the Russian market despite broader Western corporate exits following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
German media reported recently that Globus expanded its Russia footprint with tens of millions of euros in investments and new large-format stores around Moscow.
Globus Holding said it had fully spun off its Russian superstores and that they are legally and operationally independent. It said questions should be directed to Hyperglobus.
