Russia's Pivot To Asia: Issue 30

In the main news of the week, there has been no breakthrough as yet concerning the opening of the Black Sea: we explain the issues at stake. Elsewhere, Russia-China logistics are undergoing significant developments to meet future trade targets, while the EU continues to bleed investors to Russian re-domiciliation – an unreported issue in the West. We examine the latest BRICS vs Eurozone PMI data, while there are updates on the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline and energy developments in Africa. We showcase Russia’s trade and investment interests in Central America and take a close look at the Russia-Mexico relations and Venezuela’s BRICS difficulties. As always, it’s been an eventful week with global trade implications. With best wishes! Russia’s Pivot To Asia
