This event is dedicated to the public and corporate supports of Ifri's Russia/NIS Center. By personal invitation only.
A closed-doors seminar with Sergey GURIEV, Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

After several years of recession, resulting from a combination of falling oil prices, economic sanctions and its own structural weaknesses, the Russian economy seems to have returned to growth. But reforming the economy will be a major challenge during Vladimir Putin's next term of office. Will he have the necessary resources to continue to finance his power politics? Can he undertake reforms without jeopardising the regime's security? What are the prospects for the development of economic relations with China and the European Union?
Chair : Tatiana KASTUEVA-JEAN, Head of Ifri’s Russia/NIS Center
Discussant : Julien VERCUEIL, Ph. D, Associate professor at INALCO Paris
