Prof. Dr. Marco J. Menichetti will give a speech on “Exchange Rate Risk Management and Portfolio Investments – Lessons learned from the current Financial Crisis” on the Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance (FINEC).  FINEC is one of the leading Russian universities in the field of Finance and offering a conference on “Financial Markets of Europe and Russia - Sustainability of National Financial Systems: Searching the New Approaches” from April 18 – 20, 2012.

The year 2011 brought the events of considerable significance for the global financial system: the devastating earthquakes and tsunami in Japan undermined the world processing industry; “Arabian Spring” caused the oil prices growth; the Euro Zone experienced intensifying tension at financial and sovereign debt markets; the economic growth of the USA slowed down; the confrontation on the raise of the maximal size of the national debt of the USA produced distrust to the government policy.

Such background necessitated to reconsider new approaches in Finance to resolve the existing recession in the financial world.

The aim of the Conference is to demonstrate the dynamics of the global financial development in the conditions of the on-going economic and financial crisis, analyze the newly emerging problems and delineate the prospects of the world bank system in the nearest future.

The leading experts and scientists from European and Asian universities, representatives of foreign governmental agencies and venture funds, Administrations of St. Petersburg and Leningradskaya Oblast, Russian and foreign banks, insurance, assessment, financial and venture companies will contribute to the topic.
