Once again, this event will give Western observers a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about the latest changes across Russia, and will offer Russian organisations a high profile platform to continue to reach out to foreign investors and other partners.

Confirmed speakers include Aleksei Ulyukaev, First Deputy Chairman, Central Bank of Russia; Alexander Shokhin, President, Russian Union of Industrialists & Entrepreneurs (RSPP); Oleg Kisilev, Adviser to Director General, Rusnanotech; Pavel Teplukhin, Managing Director, Troika Dialog Group; Chairman, Troika Dialog Asset Management; Konstantin Korishenko, President, MICEX Group (Moscow Stock Exchange).

The programme will feature a special edition of BBC World News’ well known HARDtalk programme. Igor Yurgens, Chairman of the Institute of Contemporary Development, will be interviewed by Stephen Sackur.

The conference will be followed by the Bull & Bear Banquet, a dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Mr. Teplukhin said: “The economic landscape is changing and new rules are being created. The next wave of growth will begin on the emerging markets with Russia leading the way. As the oldest and largest private investment bank in the CIS, Troika Dialog has long provided expert insight into the Russian market. I am greatly looking forward to the Russian Investment Roadshow, as it is an ideal opportunity for business representatives, government leaders and policymakers to learn about the highly rewarding opportunities present on the Russian market.”

Sergei Kolushev, Managing Director of Eventica, organisers of the Russia Investment Roadshow, said: “This is the latest in a series of events around the world that we are doing to promote dialogue about investment and trade in Russia. The Roadshow will give outside investors a unique opportunity to monitor developments in Russia, and for the country’s business leaders to maintain vital links with the international banking and finance community.” (www.eventica.co.uk/our_team/Sergei.html).
