On April 3, 2010 St. Petersburg hosted the IV Forum of Economically Active City Dwellers, arranged by “Nashi Dengi” magazine. BFA Bank became a strategic partner of the Forum. The IV Forum was held following the pattern already familiar to its visitors and members, and consisted of two parallel events: the consulting exhibition and the lecturing and discussion session. Within the frame of the discussion session, the Head of BFA Bank Analytical Department, Roman Dzugaev, made a speech along with the representatives of MICEX, RTS Exchange and the leading banks and investment companies. In addition, BFA Investment Company held a seminar “Stock Market 2010: a threat or an opportunity for investment?” for the visitors of the Forum. The unique format of the activities provided the opportunity for the guests of the Forum to receive the answers to the questions of concern about Russia’s economy and the stock market, as well as to contribute to the discussion on the burning issues, along with the representatives of the city authorities and supervisory bodies, financiers, influential experts and consultants.
