From the CEO OF EMIS


The headlines of the last two weeks have been dominated by acts of terror and the reactions of governments to the continuing threat of attacks. It is clear that few countries are immune to the fallout from these events, whether they are attacked directly or caught up in the response. We have seen attacks in the developing world as well as western countries and the fallout is far-reaching.

International relations are inevitably destabilised by extreme events like these and trade between affected countries may also suffer. New alliances are likely to be formed and existing ones weakened in an increasingly complex and unstable political landscape.

Below are a few articles I have selected from the EMIS service that relate to these recent events and their impact. As always, I welcome your views on this subject, particularly in relation to emerging markets.

Best wishes,
Guy Dunn
Chief Executive Officer
