As Russia’s arguably leading investment bank, VTB Capital is well-placed to benefit from what has been a very busy period of activity in the Russian capital markets. Much like in other regions, over the past 18 months the country’s markets have seen periods of pronounced equity capital markets, debt capital markets, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity.
“In the early months of the year it was already relatively clear that it was going to be a highly intensive year. But as time has passed, that has only accelerated,” observes Alexander Pukhaev, VTB Capital’s head of global banking since March 2021.
