Samsung, Hyundai Motor, LG and other Korean companies are facing increasing difficulties in doing business in Russia, as the United States and EU decided to exclude most Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) banking system, according to industry watchers Monday.
미국과 EU가 러시아 대부분의 은행을 스위프트(SWIFT, 국제은행간통신협회) 은행 시스템에서 제외시키기로 결정한 후 월요일(지난달 28일) 업계 분석가들에 의하면 삼성, 현대자동차, LG 및 다른 한국 기업들은 러시아에서의 사업 운영에 있어 증가하는 어려움을 마주하고 있다.


The SWIFT banking system enables secure cross-border settlements and payments.
스위프트 은행 시스템은 국경을 넘나드는 거래와 지불이 안전할 수 있도록 해준다.


The companies said they expect intensifying Western sanctions on Russia to make it harder for local firms not only to import natural gas and other raw materials from Russia, but also to receive payments for exporting a wide range of industrial goods, including cars, to that country.
이 기업들은 러시아에 대한 서구의 제재가 강화되어 국내 기업들이 천연가스 및 다른 원재료를 러시아로부터 수입하기 어려워질 뿐만 아니라 러시아에 차를 포함한 광범위한 산업 제품 수출에 대한 대금을 지급받기도 어려워질 것으로 예상한다고 말했다.


Korea's exports to Russia ranked 12th among all trading countries in 2021, according to the Korea International Trade Association (KITA), accounting for 1.5 percent of the country's total outbound shipments. Korea sent goods worth $9.98 billion to Russia last year.
한국무역협회에 따르면 2021년 우리나라의 대러시아 수출액은 전체 교역국 가운데 12번째로 많아 전체 수출액에서 1.5%의 비중을 차지했다. 한국은 지난해 러시아에 99억8000만 달러 가치의 제품을 판매했다.


"Hyundai Motor operates manufacturing lines in Russia. Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics also have factories. Many Korean companies are actively engaged in business there. Korea is dependent on trade which accounts for 75 percent of GDP. Our nation is the country that will be hit hardest by the sanctions," said Kim Dae-jong, a professor at the School of Business at Sejong University.
김대종 세종대 경영학부 교수는 "현대자동차는 러시아에서 제조 라인을 운영한다. 삼성전자와 LG전자 역시 공장을 가동 중이다. 많은 한국 기업들은 러시아에서 적극적으로 사업을 펼치고 있다. 한국은 GDP의 75%를 차지하는 무역에 의존적이다. 우리나라는 이번 제재들로 인해 가장 크게 피해를 입을 것"이라고 말했다.
