The head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, disappeared from the list of speakers in the program of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. RBC writes about this with reference to sources close to the Central Bank.
The sources did not specify the reasons for Nabiulina’s absence.
It was originally planned that the head of the central bank would participate in two sessions: “How to get back on the path of sustainable economic growth in the face of global uncertainty” and “Cyber fraud: who should pay the bills?”
Elvira Nabiullina’s third term as head of the Central Bank ends in 2027, and by law she must leave it. The most likely candidates are Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Promsvyazbank Pyotr Fradkov and VTB Chairman Andrei Kostin, the newspaper “Bell” reported. At the same time, Al Jaras sources pointed out that “the law can always be changed.”
