With Russia playing an ever more aggressive role in the Syrian conflict, Newport Partner Julie Rasmussen recently drew on her extensive business experience there to consider Russia’s geo political importance in Europe and Asia-- and its long term economic importance.
Julie believes that it is precisely when Russia undergoes one of its periodic declines that barriers to entry significantly decrease. With the largest population in Europe and occupying a vast, strategically sensitive region, Russia remains an important opportunity for global investors to consider. Ignoring this market could be a long term strategic miscalculation.
To explore these ideas further, Julie recently authored an article on the Velocity Global web site. The site is a leading source of information for investors in the global economy.
