About the Forum

The world economy is entering a period of deep structural transformation.

We can witness the tariff wars, sanctions, disrupted production chains, and payments made in national currencies. The world economy is becoming increasingly fragmented. There is a rise of protectionism, the production chains are restructured, and a new financial and trade system is formed. The Financial University Forum brings together ministers, entrepreneurs, university rectors, students, and researchers from thirty countries in order to discuss the new global economic architecture and identify the development strategies in the new environment.

It is one of the top-line venues where the intellectuals meet. Simultaneous interpreting is provided. A press center is operational. You can watch the event online. A special Finansist journal volume will be issued after the Forum.
