On 14 November, Riga will be the venue for the largest conference in the Baltic Region on the topical issues of e-commerce, “eCom21”. More than 250 participants from 20 countries will attend the forum. Apart from the official agenda, the event’s programme anticipates wide opportunities for personal communication between experts and participants of the market and establishment of direct business contacts. The patron of the conference is Rietumu Bank.
In a couple of months changes in Latvian legislation, providing the most favorable regime for international holdings will become effective. Amid positive expectations, pessimistic views of a number of “experts” arise on perspectives of transformation of Latvia in the “new Cyprus” and on stability of new tax policy. One other thing is true: Latvia will have a chance of attracting thousands of investors – the way Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg and other European neighbors have already done.
Rietumu Bank, the largest private bank in Latvia, has been awarded the 2012 SPEAR’S Russia Wealth Management Award. The award was granted in the category “Best Bank in the CIS and Baltic States providing private banking services and wealth management for Russian customers”.
