Dear friends!

Welcome to Sochi for the XXII International Banking Forum.

For many years, this unique platform has brought together representatives of government, business, and leading experts from our country and abroad. It fosters meaningful dialogue and establishes business contacts.

In an era of global transformation, one of the key drivers of financial industry renewal is the improvement of the banking sector. Credit institutions are actively implementing innovation and high technology, creating modern ecosystems, and driving the digitalization of the economy.

It is important that your conversations will include discussions of significant topics, including the use of artificial intelligence, improving cybersecurity, and strengthening the domestic financial sector, including through maintaining technological sovereignty and developing a national digital infrastructure.

I am confident that the ideas presented at the Forum will contribute to addressing common challenges. You will be able to exchange experiences and propose concrete measures for the further development of the credit and financial sector.

I wish all participants productive work.

M. Mishustin

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev held a meeting on the development of border crossing points across the Russian Federation. The meeting summarized the movement of freight and trucks at key border sections for the first half of 2025, and focused on the launch of an electronic queuing system at the Verkhniy Lars vehicle crossing on the Russian-Georgian border.

In accordance with a Russian government decree, a time reservation system (electronic queue) will be deployed at the Verkhniy Lars automobile border crossing (Russian-Georgian border) beginning October 1, 2025. This will streamline traffic flows and speed up border crossing times. Work is currently being completed on setting up specialized equipment, and all interagency approvals have been received. The Russian Ministry of Transport, together with Rosgranstroy, is continuing to inform carriers about the launch of the reservation system.

The forum takes place from September 24 to 25 in Nizhny Novgorod.

Dear friends!

I am pleased to welcome you to the forum and congratulate you on your professional holiday – Forest Workers Day.

Russia possesses unique natural resources and biodiversity. Forest ecosystems occupy more than half of our country's territory and are considered the "lungs of the planet." The protection, restoration, and sustainable use of this national treasure are the result of the work of scientists, forestry specialists, and industry workers.

The forest complex is of strategic importance, ensuring ecological well-being and environmental quality for the comfortable life of millions of Russians.

Digital transformation, the introduction of innovative technologies, the use of cutting-edge oversight methods, and an increase in the volume of services provided are essential conditions for the industry's further development.

And also – training highly qualified specialists who will work as professionally, responsibly and with great dedication as you do.

I am confident that you will be able to discuss these and other topics at the Forum, exchange experiences and best practices, and find answers to pressing questions together.

I wish you productive work, interesting communication, good luck, and all the best. Happy holidays!

M. Mishustin
