Major Russian investments in the Middle East and North Africa are under threat due to sanctions imposing corporate financing constraints and increased barriers to using the global payments system. For instance, Russian companies and contractors have somewhere in the region of US$41bn worth of projects in MENA that are either under execution, or in the front-end engineering and design (FEED), prequalification or bidding phases. In addition to this, another US$35bn worth of Russian projects in MENA are in the pre-FEED phase. Most Russian project finance is targeting the oil and gas sector with major developments in Iraq, the nuclear energy sector with major projects in Egypt and Iran, and transport infrastructure also in Iran.
