On Sunday 9 December, Moscow’s luxurious Ritz-Carlton played host to the ‘Bull & Bear Banquet’ – a sumptuous gala dinner that brought together senior Russian and international corporates, investment bankers, investors and other leading representatives from both finance and industry.
Michael Klein of Citigroup flew in from New York as guest speaker, and jazz legend Roy Ayers and his band performed, also having joined the festivities from the United States.
The evening gave participants an invaluable opportunity to network, and to reflect on what has already proven to be an extraordinary year, with Russia making its presence felt on the world stage as never before.
The dinner marked the opening of the Global Investment and Financial Forum, which followed on 10 and 11 December.
