The Bank of Russia has announced the program for its upcoming Financial Congress, which will be held in St Petersburg from July 2 to July 4. The event will open with a plenary session titled “Economic development: how to get on the optimal growth trajectory,” featuring Elvira Nabiullina, Governor of the Bank of Russia.
In recent years, specifically from 2023 to 2024, the Russian economy has shown notable growth despite challenges in the external economic environment. During the congress, participants will explore factors that contributed to this performance, conditions necessary for sustainable growth, and the role of macroeconomic policy in fostering these conditions.
Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, will participate in a second plenary session where speakers will evaluate trends expected to shape financial market development over the next decade. These discussions come amid global economic instability, sanctions pressure, and technological changes.
Panel sessions on July 3 and 4 are set to address diverse topics ranging from capital market prospects to models for cooperation between government and businesses in building national digital infrastructure within the financial market.
The business agenda comprises two plenary sessions and 21 panel discussions. Further details about the program and registration information can be found on the event’s website.
