The agenda of the meeting, held as part of the Day of Russia 2012 on Wall Street, included discussions of Russia's new investment opportunities, improving its investment climate and the future investment deals.
As Igor Shuvalov announced at the meeting, privatisation will become one of the key issues on the Russian Government's current agenda. He said the Government plans to develop all sectors of the economy, not only oil and gas. Railways, airports, river ports, healthcare, and education are sectors that may bring high profits to investors, the First Deputy Prime Minister said.
Regarding taxes, Igor Shuvalov noted that any tax decisions that would increase the tax burden will not be adopted.
At the end of the meeting, Igor Shuvalov rang the bell signalling the close of trading at the New York Stock Exchange.
