It’s been a big week this past few days with significant Russian trade and European political changes afoot. In Russia, we look at how changes in cryptocurrency laws are set to revolutionise Eurasian trade – and probably usher in a new global finance evolution. The BRICS – responsible for nearly 50% of all global grain trade – are decoupling grain trade away from the West, while Russia has made substantial progress with Southeast Asian infrastructure, finance and trade via ASEAN. These are all significant changes happening right now that will impact global trade and investment flows tomorrow. Global supply chains are being remade. President Putin has been invited this week to important upcoming events in Asia, despite Western attempts to label Russia as ‘isolated’, while we look at the Russian and indeed international credentials of the new incoming British Prime Minister. Meanwhile, LatAm wants to increase trade with the Eurasian Economic Union while Mexico is looking to the Russian Far East for Seafood. It is sometimes hard to keep track – however the new multipolar society is gathering pace. We suspect that certain elements in the West remain as Ostriches - with their heads buried in the sand - despite what is plainly evident. The world is changing ever more rapidly.
