Latest Euromoney Country Risk Survey results

Dr. Constantin Gurdgiev

Recent Country Risk survey by Euromoney shows some interesting trends relating to the Russian economy. Here are the headlines:
“The five economies of the Brics have seen an aggregate ECR score loss of 6.4 points this year, lowering the average score by 3.1 points to 56.8. South Africa (-2 points), Brazil (-1.9) and India (-1.6) have endured the worst declines in sentiment, resulting from concerns about export market conditions, amid waning demand for commodities and increased domestic security risks.

According to Michael Killeen, Dialogue won the business on the back its four step CRM “IDIC” process (Identification, Differentiation, Involvement and Customisation) which it has developed successfully over the last decade. The final strategy is being finalised and creative will be in place for January 2012 across all channels.

“‘The work we take for granted here is viewed as best in class in other regions, particularly as you move east across Europe.
