Emerging Markets Financial Crisis in 2014 and 1997- the difference in 2014 is less contagion as investors look at individual countries
01/09/2009
The current account deficits are high in Thailand and Turkey, and this is coupled wth political uncertainty. Argentina faces high inflation at over 20%. Investors have focussed on Argentina and Turkey. Countries that failed to learn from the 1997 crisis such as Argentina, Turkey and Thailand, are seen in a different light from Mexico and Poland. India faces inflation of about 10%. Other countries affected are Russia, Brazil and South Africa. Most of the countries have flexible exchange rates in 2014 compared to fixed exchange rates in 1997, and higher dollar reserves in 2014 which helps cushion the effects of overseas borrowing. The effects on Europe and the U.S. in 2014 are seen as limited to how this affects the global economy.

Putin and Russia's shift in Ukraine policy with the impact of capital flight, western sanctions and a sharp slowdown in the economy by July 2014
07/11/2014
Polls show 66% of the Russian public opposes Russian forces going into Ukrainian territory. The rhetoric on Russian television has been toned down and Russian analysts say intervention in Ukraine would have dangerous consequences for Russia, that Russia needs to maintain its relations with the West. At the same time Putin will attend a summit of BRIC's leaders in Fortaleza, Brazil, with plans to set up a development bank, as the focus shifts back to the economy. Russia is expected to feel the impact of $75 billion in capital flight in the first half of 2014.

The 2014 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
05/22/2014
After the Russian takeover of Crimea and increase in tensions on the border with Ukraine the mood at the 2014 St. Petersburg Economic Forum is different. Many western companies stayed away. Of German companies Metro, a German retailer, was the prominent one present and that too because of its 22,000 Russian employees, said its CEO. Former British cabinet minister Mandelson, described the situation as Putin's "self-inflicted wound." The Russian economy now faces three choices, each difficult and risky- to move closer to Asia, to depend on its own state banks and finances for development, or to continue attracting foreign investment even with western sanctions. Growth is slowing to 0.2% for 2014. At the same time Indian elections have led to a absolute majority for a foreign investment friendly government with experience in attracting foreign investment in western India. Foreign investment could shift in coming years from China, Russia, Turkey to India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Africa, and other investment friendly countries. In that situation China's tensions with Japan and Russia's tensions with U.S. and Europe may become counterproductive policies. Some foreign investment may even return to home regions with the yen's new level in Japan and lower energy/labor/transport costs in North America, and lower labor costs in Southern Europe.

Russia Introduces Measures to Calm Economic Jitters
New York Times 12/17/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
