Russia's Pivot To Asia: Issue 18
January 2, 2025

Happy New Year! In this issue we provide two unique 2025 Guides, to the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea as we examine Russia’s trade and infrastructure developments with both regions. They are essential reading for anyone interested in Russia’s version of the Belt & Road Initiative. Elsewhere we see significant digital infrastructure developments in Russia itself, involving transport and finance, an important agreement to be signed with Iran, and year end trade data from the CIS. Global gas transit developments are also taking place throughout the Eurasian landmass and Europe – we discuss the geopolitical implications. We also showcase the BRICS progress during 2024. With best wishes for 2025!
