6th Russian-Singaporean business forum proves to be success
SINGAPORE, September 27 (Itar-Tass) -- The 6th Russian-Singaporean
Business Forum (RSBF) ended here on Sunday.
It was attended by about 400 businessmen, politicians and government
officials from the two countries, as well as from a number of CIS and
Asian countries.
Among its participants were CEO of one of Russia's biggest banks,
Sberbank, German Gref, chairman of the board of directors of the Troika
Dialog group of companies Ruben Vardanyan, head of Russia's republic of
Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, and Singapore's first Prime Minister Lee
Kuan Yew.
"The forum was a success, it was very interesting," Troika Dialog's
Managing Director Anton Rakhmanov told Itar-Tass in an interview. "The
forum discussed first of all macroeconomic issues, the current situation
in global economies, and especially in the economies of developed
markets," he said. "We discussed how to find any tools to be secured from
declining growth in developed countries, which we witness; and the only
solution is to increase as much as possible foreign trade and boost mutual
integration between Russia and Asian countries."
Addressing the forum, Sberbank CEO German Gref noted that the world
economy "is going through hard times" and much will depend on the
situation in China. According to Gref, if oil prices are within the range
of 80-90 U.S. dollars per barrel, economic growth in Russia would reach
from four to five percent.
Speaking of bilateral ties, the Sberbank CEO said the Russian republic
of Tatarstan was a vivid example of how to use Singapore's experiences in
the most efficient way. "Whenever I am asked what we may take from
Singapore, I say it is worth going to Tatarstan to see what," he said.
In the meantime, Tatarstan's president Rustam Minnikhanov told the
forum his republic was ready to offer all-round support to foreign
investors and to guarantee safety of their money. "We will be happy to see
you in Kazan and to show you our opportunities in more detail," he said.
Trade and economic relations between Singapore and Russia are getting
closer, Singaporean Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang told the
forum. Last year, the trade turnover between the two countries was 4.1
billion U.S. dollars, a record-breaking figure, he noted.
Also within the framework of the forum, a number of Russian companies
announced their plans to list their shares on the Singapore Stock Exchange.
