Inheritance and Succession

04 Jun , 12:00–13:15
The Human Factor in Responding to Global Challenges
Congress Centre, conference hall E11

Russians have mixed feelings about rich people. To a large extent, this is the legacy of the 1990s, which have created a certain image of a rich person. That said, 70% of assets are concentrated in the hands of a single generation. These days, we are watching a generational change: the second generation of capital owners is about to make history. This brings the issue of the role rich people play in society into focus. A great challenge for the next ten years is to change the attitude towards rich people and succession in Russia. What is the role of rich people in the Russian society? How ready is the new generation that grew up in the West instead of among the Russian ‘facts of life’ to solve these problems? How can the right system and infrastructure be created in Russia that would be ready to respond to such challenges? What are the current succession mechanisms in Russia?
