+ Digitalisation in CEE 2020. The CEE region is in a unique position to capitalize on future digital trends. The region overall has seen some of the fastest economic growth in the world, but faces population levels that are in decline and the region's competitive advantage is under threat as real wages rise and labour markets are tight. Trends in automation and digitalisation could enable the region to keep up to speed. The Covid-19 crisis acts as an accelerator for many of the ongoing trends in digital transformation and e-commerce.

+ Russia Economic Crisis Update (May 2020).The 2020 crisis is a different one! It is global whereas 1998 and 2014-15 were more specific Russia crises. At least MDs based in Moscow don’t get asked again by global HQ: “What’s wrong with Russia?”
