Executive summary: Third quarter 2009

In collaboration with PwC, Eurasia Group continuously monitors and analyses the major trends shaping the global business environment, and produces a series of quarterly reports.

Our third quarter 2009 report focuses on the necessary next steps in dealing with the global financial crisis. This executive summary looks at the developments, and lays out the business implications, in five key areas:

• Prospects for BRIC countries
• Taxation
• Infrastructure
• The implications of commodity price shocks
• Offshoring

The extraordinary breadth and depth of the current worldwide economic turmoil, and its evolution, are creating new uncertainties in both the international and local political environments. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for organisations to understand emerging global trends.
