International Financial Centers: The World Experience and Russia’s Opportunities
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2008-9-22-33
Abstract
The author assumes that setting the target of creating an international financial center in Russia is caused by the international competition for maximizing national share in value-added chains in modern industries and for human resources capable of creating the value-added. Having analyzed the historical evolution of international financial centers the author opts for pursuing the aim of turning Moscow into the regional center for the CIS, CEE and / or Middle East countries. To achieve it, some measures are proposed, including motivating international companies and banks to transfer their regional headquarters to Moscow.
