On 11 March, the Association of European Businesses (AEB) held its flagship conference “European Business in Russia: Tomorrow Starts Today”, bringing together leading experts to discuss current economic trends and the outlook for business development in Russia.

A key highlight of the event was the participation of Vitaly Zhigulin, Partner at Kesarev, who spoke at the session “Macroeconomic Outlook: How to Overcome Stagnation and Restore Economic Growth?”.

The discussion focused on the slowdown in economic growth following several years of strong performance, potential drivers for renewed momentum, and key regulatory trends shaping the business environment in 2026.

The conference served as an important platform for dialogue between business and experts on the future trajectory of the Russian economy, highlighting both structural challenges and emerging opportunities.

Kesarev will continue its engagement with the AEB platform in upcoming events. Stay tuned for our announcements.
