The new representative office will act as a point of contact for clients active internationally, while also providing information about wealth management services and products available in Switzerland.

Michael Vlahovic, market group head of Russia, eastern Europe and central Asia in Zurich, stated: Credit Suisse believes that Ukraine offers considerable wealth creation opportunities as a result of its dynamic economic development. The opening of a new representative office reflects our ongoing commitment to eastern Europe.

Credit Suisse has been operating in Ukraine over the last 10 years, providing its clients with a wide range of investment banking services, including M&A advisory and capital markets advice through its existing representative office.
