Biography

Tomas Alibegov was born in Moscow into a family with Georgian and British roots. His father, Ivan Yakovlevich Alibegov, born in 1887 in Kutaisi, died in 1941 in the World War II, and his mother, Evelina Richardovna Manning, born in 1903 in Huddersfield, England, died in 1987 in Moscow.

In 1958, he graduated from the International Economic Relations Faculty of the Moscow Financial Institute. From 1958 to 1959 he worked at the Moscow Mechanical Plant.[3]

From 1961 to 1969 he served as an inspector, expert, senior consultant, head of a department, and deputy head of the Office of Currency and Cash Operations of the Foreign Trade Bank of the USSR (Vneshtorgbank). From 1969 to 1975 he had been deputy manager and manager of the Moscow Narodny Bank branch in Beirut, Lebanon under Viktor Gerashchenko.[4] [5] During 1975–1982 he returned to Vneshtorgbank to become head of the Office of Currency and Cash Operations. From 1982 to 1987 he served as director general of Eurobank in Paris.[6]

After 1987, he again worked at Vneshtorgbank (later renamed Vneshekonombank) as head of the Foreign Exchange Department and the Department of State and Foreign Loans; During 1988–1989 he became deputy chairman of the board – head of the Office for Monetary and Credit Cooperation with Socialist countries. While in this office, he dealt with the issues of external borrowing and turning the rouble into a freely convertible currency.[7] From 1989 to 1997, Alibegov served as first deputy chairman and acting chairman of Vnesheconombank.[8] [9] In the early 1990s, he was mentioned regularly in the world mass media on the issue of restructuring the external debt of the USSR.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Another problem was that Soviet enterprises tried to hide their assets, transferring foreign currency from their accounts abroad.[19]

Later on, he was a member of the board of directors of the Bank for Corporate Financing (Faba Bank LLP).[20]
