It is widely expected that despite some growth in oil prices and renewed activity on the stock market, financial stress and corporate defaults in Russia will carry on well into 2010. To help companies to survive in this tough environment and, in response to the fears of widespread inability to repay debts, the Russian Government is preparing radical changes to the existing bankruptcy and insolvency regime.

Developing a rescue culture aimed at creating efficient financial rehabilitation procedures for viable and competitive companies crippled by the liquidity crisis is the new focus in today’s Russia.
