The Russian economy, Europe and the future

Professor Sergei Guriev, Provost and Professor of Economics, Sciences Po, and co-author of Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century.

If Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a nasty wakeup call for Western companies with often-significant operations in Russia, the next 12 months will be critical in understanding what comes next. Will regime change result in peace in Europe and a more open Russian economy? Or will Russia’s future look much like it’s past? Join your Global CFO Network peers in Asia and Europe for a one-hour call with one of the world’s leading authorities on the Russian economy, Sciences Po Provost and prominent Russian economist Sergei Guriev. Prof Guriev has worked in senior academic and government roles in Russia - including as a speechwriter and advisor to then-President Dmitry Medvedev - and has sat on the boards of state enterprises, including Sberbank and the Russian Agricultural Bank. He left Russia in 2013 after a series of “frightening and humiliating interrogations”, and is now based in Paris, where he is Provost of Sciences Po, the elite French school of political science. Prior roles have included as Chief Economist for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
