Глава ЦБ Эльвира Набиуллина пропустит конференцию Национальной ассоциации участников фондового рынка Это уже второе за этот месяц публичное мероприятие, участие в котором председателя Банка России было заявлено, а затем отменено. Набиуллина не будет участвовать в конференции, намеченной на 9 июня, поскольку остаётся на больничном, передаёт «Интерфакс» со ссылкой на пресс-службу ЦБ. Первоначально встречу планировалось провести 19 мая, но затем её отложили на июнь «по независящим от ассоциации причинам». Ранее Набиуллина не появилась на ПМЭФ, где она должна была участвовать в работе как минимум двух сессий 4 июня. Отсутствие главы ЦБ также объясняли больничным.
