The Russian Economy Seeking Ways to Boost Growth

06 Jun , 09:00–10:15
The Russian Economy: Achieving National Development Goals
Congress Centre, conference hall D2

The Russian economy has proven its resilience to such external challenges as the rhetoric of economic sanctions, turbulence in emerging markets and volatility of oil prices. The strong foundations underpinning macroeconomic stability are attractive for investors, yet the economic growth rate does not correlate with Russia’s potential. This is the main challenge faced by Russia’s financial and economic authorities today. What incentives are needed to convert investor confidence into economic growth? What additional factors could boost GDP growth? What changes should be implemented for growth to accelerate? Will national projects serve as the basis for future growth?
