A cross cutting issue of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum - 2018 was the creation of a trust economy to be discussed in the context of the world economy, potential of the Russian economy, development of human capital and leadership technologies.
Successful economic initiatives are based on people's personal trust. Common views on the achievements in culture, science and desire for peace are the most appropriate basis for strategic economic integration. Globalisation and digitalisation have completely erased the boundaries of communication between active citizens around the world.
According to the invited experts, the restoration of economies’ trust requires the development and creation of integration links, in particular, between economies of friendly countries. Strong trusted connections contribute to the strategic economic integration.
