Bank of Russia releases Financial Congress programme
This year, the congress will take place in St Petersburg on 2–4 July. It will begin with a plenary session ‘Economic development: how to get on the optimal growth trajectory’ to be attended by Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina.
Over 2023–2024, the Russian economy demonstrated remarkable growth despite a significant deterioration of the external economic environment. The participants will analyse the factors that enabled such economic performance, the conditions conducive to sustainable economic growth, and the role of macroeconomic policy in creating these conditions.
Speakers at the second plenary session, which will be attended by Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, will assess the main trends that will influence the financial market development over the next 7–10 years amid global economic instability, sanctions pressure, and technological transformation.
The panel sessions scheduled for 3–4 July cover a wide range of topics – from capital market prospects to the optimal model of cooperation between the government and businesses when building the national digital infrastructure in the financial market.
