77th East Jour Fixe

The 77th East Jour Fixe will focus on Russia’s economic policy challenges and options against the background of the country’s current and likely longer lasting economic turmoil, which has laid bare the vulnerabilities of the Russian economy. In session 1, we will therefore discuss structural reform needs and how to use FDI more efficiently. In session 2, we will then explore ways to safeguard banking sector stability and buttress monetary policy. Finally, session 3 will deal with Russia’s recent recalibration of its external economic policy orientation and the options ahead.
