We are delighted to invite you to take part in the work of the 3d IBA’s ‘Mergers and Acquisitions in Russia and CIS’ Conference, which has already established itself as one the most prominent and significant practical events on the Russian conference market.

Rapid recovery of Russian and CIS economies and soaring oil prices led to unprecedented M&A deal activity last year. While economic indicators in Europe and the United States are deteriorating, growing CIS markets are now back in the investors’ focus. National programs aimed at attracting foreign investment, government support for innovation, privatization plans and numerous undervalued assets boost the markets. However, global instability and the threat of a new crisis motivate investors to weigh their portfolios more cautiously.

Leading analysts and consultants in the M&A market will analyze the current state and trends of Russian and CIS M&A markets taking into account the influence of world economy.
