Gazprombank announced Tuesday that its annual "Gazprombank–Asset Management" conference will take place Thursday for its corporate and endowment fund clients.

During the conference, experts will present information on the institution's performance while analysts will also be available and present their expectations of the effects of changes to the Russian Criminal Code on the country's economy and financial and banking sectors.

Presentations on the oil and natural gas industries and geopolitical tensions and related developments will be presented by Marcel Salikhov, the institute's director of Energy and Finance, and by adviser Paul Demidov. These two areas have been driving forces in the weakening of the ruble and overall macroeconomic trouble for the Russian Federation. 

Other speakers will present information on topics including the insurance industry, non-governmental organizations, fundraising and private pension funds.
