This year Bond conference titled “Russian Bond Conference 2012: step into future” has become one of the most copious financial events according to the range of topics encompassed – the official part of the conference which lasted for one day only could rival a three days investment forum. All the topics discussed within the conference roundtables provided in-depth coverage of the announced topics coupled with macroeconomic and socio-political insight into the current trends of global country’s development. Macroeconomic development scenarios in Russia were discussed as key factors of upcoming fundamental changes in the domestic bond market with outlook on benefits and losses they may bring to investors and issuers in the longer run.
