14.00 - 16.00 Pavilion 8 Hall 8.2 | CONFERENCE "THE RUSSIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR: FROM EASY VICTORIES TO THE ART OF BATTLE. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECTOR IN A NEW OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, PARTICIPANT STRATEGIES AND IMPROVEMENT OF INSTITUTIONS" (Supported by MICEX) The Russian financial services sector has demonstrated impressive rates of growth over recent years in all segments: bank assets have grown, as have premiums for insurance companies, net asset value funds, exchange turnovers, volumes of distribution and profit among market participants. In a situation of accessible money and formerly low coverage of all categories of consumer by financial services, those engaged in the market rapidly grew in absolute volume even with a reduction in relative market share. It was easy to be successful. The years of growth became an incubation period for the transition from speculative stimuli to long-term strategies, but also, even more importantly, opportunities opened up to build formal and informal financial institutions, and relationships of trust. Changes in the external conditions - instability of the markets in developed economies, slowdown in growth, rise in prices for resources - should indicate to what extent the period of prosperity was used for these opportunities, and how companies in the financial sector will operate in the new conditions. How mature have the institutions become in the formation of long-term strategies? Prospects for competition on the financial market with the involvement of companies with state and foreign capital. The role of mutual trust on the example of the inter-bank market, credit history market and outsourcing of distribution through banking networks. The influence of infrastructure on the organization of trading on the exchange.
