Section 8: Shifting Global Opportunities

With little end in sight for economic troubles in developed countries, hopes for sustained global economic growth are being pinned on Brazil, Russia, India and China, the so-called BRIC countries. Global banking institutions have known for a long time that economic influence was shifting in favour of the BRIC countries, but over the next decade the effects of this shift will become even more apparent in the domestic markets of developed countries.

Henrique Meirellles, the outgoing governor of Brazil’s central bank, gives a detailed analysis of factors underlying the country’s economic resilience during the crisis, including an overview of Brazil’s generally conservative approach to bank regulation and supervision.

Despite the financial crisis, Standard Chartered’s chief economist, Gerard Lyons, argues that the global economy has entered a super-cycle of high growth, driven largely by the shift in economic power from West to East.

Eddie Astanin explains how the merger of Russia’s two key settlement and depository institutions will lay the groundwork for closer financial integration with European and global markets.
