Ukraine Fears Trigger Conference Cancellations and IPO Postponements | The Moscow Times

Ukraine Fears Trigger Conference Cancellations and IPO Postponements | The Moscow Times:



"Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, has decided to postpone its Russia Forum business conference until the fall.



The company said that the decision was made due to "the uncertain economic dynamics and elevated volatility in capital markets" caused by international tensions over the situation in Ukraine,  Reuters reported Wednesday.



The forum, a major international business conference scheduled to be held in Moscow from April 10 to 12, is dedicated to discussing economic and social-political issues, as well as investment opportunities in Russia. 




Past attendees have included figures such as President Vladimir Putin and Alan Greenspan, ex-chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve. The 2013 Russia Forum was attended by more than 2,000 people from 40 countries."
