Credit Suisse chairman Urs Rohner has told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that the planned international financial centre in Moscow will be formally launched in October or November.
Credit Suisse is one of several global financial institutions that have been asked by the Kremlin to help to pull off the financial hub project, a much-hyped Kremlin brainchild that has aroused little excitement in international financial markets.
Rohner and the chief executives of JPMorgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and the New York Stock Exchange have been offered key roles in running the project.
Moscow ranks 68th on the latest list of 75 global financial centres compiled by London-based think tank Z/Yen, and is not even among the 10 centres likely to become more significant in the next few years.
