Eurasian Financial and Economic Forum

II Eurasian Financial and Economic Forum

Eurasia: A Space of Trust and Sustainable Cooperation

Shanghai, April 19-23, 2026

About the forum

With global supply chains being restructured, trade flows reoriented, and Eurasia's growing role as an investment hub, the creation of sustainable, clear, and secure "rules of the game" that will enable companies to implement joint projects and scale sales is becoming a key business imperative.

The II Eurasian Economic Forum "Eurasia: A Space of Trust and Sustainable Cooperation" in Shanghai will serve as a platform where the strategic guidelines of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) are translated into concrete results: investment decisions, coordinated project roadmaps, barrier-removal mechanisms, and ready-made tools for Russian companies to enter the Chinese market.

The Forum will bring together government institutions, business associations, financial organizations, manufacturers, and distributors.

High on the Forum's agenda will be issues of technical regulation and mutual trust in product quality: standards, conformity assessment, certification, the reduction of non-tariff barriers, and digital traceability tools.

Equally important are intellectual property protection and the fight against counterfeiting. The Forum aims to develop practical mechanisms for preventing the circulation of counterfeit goods, including in cross-border e-commerce.

A separate practical outcome of the Forum is the opening of a cultural exhibition and Russian products pavilion in Shanghai, aimed at developing recognition and trust of the goods origin. In parallel, the Forum plans to develop and develop a portfolio of real cooperation projects (investment, technology, and investment) ready for follow-up and launch.

The main goal of the Forum is to create a unified environment of trust in which inventors are in demand, manufacturers are protected, consumers are confident in the origin of goods, and the market develops sustainably and predictably.

The New Reality of the Global Economy

Eurasia is a key center of attraction for investment. The business community's primary demand is for transparent, secure, and predictable "rules of the game" necessary for the implementation of long-term projects.

The rules developed at the forum will enable: 

implementing joint projects while minimizing legal and operational risks;
scaling sales through unified regulatory mechanisms;
building long-term partnerships based on transparent criteria for interaction.

The Financial and Business Association of Euro-Asian Cooperation was originally founded as the Financial and Banking Association in September 2013.

FBA EAC was conceived to identify and develop international cooperation programs in the financial and banking sectors. The organization successfully fulfilled its mandate, but over time, it became clear that the previous scope of the Banking Association was too restrictive. Over its seven years of existence, FBA has managed to form a business community of like-minded individuals whose professional focus extended far beyond purely banking issues. In March 2020, the Association was renamed and acquired its current name.

FBA EAC is a unique platform that represents and promotes the interests of its members by supporting their entrepreneurial activities in the countries where the Association operates.
