In addition to keeping an eye on global headlines, our analysts also keep an eye on several other blogs that frequently have insightful, value-added commentary:
FSG Expert Advisor James Bosworth wrote an interesting blog entry on Chavez’s legacy - Bloggings by Boz - Foreign Policy, Latin America, etc.:
“Expert Advisor James Bosworth makes a persuasive case that President Chavez’s policies on crime and security, as much as his misguided economic policies, will be the lasting legacies of his rule.”
- Antonio Martinez, Senior Analyst for Latin America Research
The Financial Times’ Beyondbrics blog, centered on emerging market news posted about a new appointment in Russia - Nabiullina: Vladimir Putin’s new broom at Russia’s central bank:
Nabiullina’s nomination, likely to be confirmed, could result in interest rate cuts as the government seeks to boost economic growth and Nabiullina is unlikely to put up strong opposition to the Kremlin’s priorities.”
- Martina Bozadzhieva, Associate Practice Leader for Central and Eastern Europe
And lastly, from the The Jakarta Post - Expats to pay $100 monthly levy to Depok:
“If you are operating in or considering an investment in Depok, you should inquire about the draft legislation mentioned in this article, as it may have an impact on your cost base and staffing flexibility in the municipality.”
- Adam Jarczyk, Associate Practice Leader for Asia Pacific Research
