 | | By appointing the governor's 31-year-old son, VTB is seeking closer ties with City Hall to secure plans to expand in the region and to gain an advantage when bidding to process city budget money, observers said. |
 | | Dmitry Travin, an economist and journalist, said it is in VTB's interest to have close ties with the Matviyenko family because of its plans to take control of Promstroibank, one of the biggest financial institutions in the region. |
 | | The news that Matviyenko's son will work for VTB came less than a month before a tender is to be held to choose a financial institution to service the 20 billion ruble ($700 million) payroll for employees working for state organizations, Delovoi Peterburg daily reported last week. |
