Russia’s primary international economic forum takes place in June amongst the background of extraordinary events. The St.Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) takes place from June 15-18, an annual event usually hosted by the Russian President Vladimir Putin and one at which Russia-Global economic and trade development and investment policies are discussed within the structure of an economic forum. Senior foreign officials attend, with this year’s Primary Guest of Honor being the Egyptian President. Chris Devonshire-Ellis, Chairman of Dezan Shira & Associates, will also be present at the event and attending all major sessions. Should readers have any specific (sensible and not offensive) trade and development questions to ask, please email to russia@dezshira.com with your query and Chris will do his best to obtain answers.
