We are grateful to the professional community for appreciation of our efforts and achievements. This prize is also a proof that VTB Capital is regarded as a national leader. I deem that our major contribution in investment business development is that we have always believed in good prospects of investment banking even in periods when everyone thought of the end of IB and that we have proved that we can create a Russian investment company able to clinch top positions on the international capital markets. So, now we can say that we were right.”
