Russian Central Bank chief Elvira Nabiullina dropped from St. Petersburg International Economic Forum speaker lineup

Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian Central Bank, has been unexpectedly removed from the speaker roster for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, as reported by RBC. This decision, reportedly made by sources close to the Central Bank, suggests internal changes or strategic shifts in Russia's economic policy discussions. The exclusion of such a high-profile figure underscores the complex and often opaque nature of Russia's economic and political maneuvers, which have significant implications for both domestic and international economic strategies.
