Putin-VTB Capital love-in gets underway

The annual VTB Capital ‘Russia Calling‘ investor conference is underway in Moscow with “more than 2000 global business and political leaders” in attendance for the third year of the event.

Premier Vladimir Putin, who was involved in the genesis of the state-controlled investment bank, will again formally open the conference on Thursday.

Alexey Yakovitsky, “global CEO chairman” of VTB Capital, said in a statement: “We are proud that despite the challenging global economic situation we are able to welcome foreign dignitaries and key international business players for the third year in a row. Russia presents enormous potential to our foreign partners and I am very much looking forward to engaging with our guests this week to assess progress from last year and chart a hearty course for next year”.

VTB Capital, which pinched over a hundred bankers from Deutsche Bank, is the leading debt and equity underwriter in Russia.
