A very interesting discussion on which BRIC countries will be most affected by the crisis on Linkedin. This view of Larry Cristini, Political Risk Consultant at Eurasia Group is an extremely intelligent answer on the question:
Emerging markets in general can be broken down into two groups:
1) those unable and/or unwilling to respond effectively to the crisis; and
2) those in a stronger position to take action (presumably because of healthy macroeconomics and internal politics before the crisis).
The key is to assess the external drivers of the financial crisis and the domestic political drivers—this determines whether the country has the wherewithal to respond effectively.
China is very much in the latter, in the best position b/c of a strong fiscal position, cheaper oil imports, and a well insulated financial market. A lower GDP to debt ratio allows them to step in with a large stimulus package. Social unrest, although a growing concern as we all know, is unlikely to cause destabilization in the medium term.
Brazil although facing falling growth and inflationary pressures that limit the use of monetary policy, is also in a good position with a falling debt to GDP ration and has a government capable (and able due to widespread support) of creating sound counter-cyclical fiscal policies. A somewhat diversified export base outside of just commodities and an economy somewhat insulated with strong domestic demand eases things. Again a good domestic political situation helps here.
India, dependent on global demand for its tech and outsourcing sectors is in trouble and the government’s fiscal deficit means it doesn’t have the latitude to implement wide-ranging fiscal packages. High unemployment and upcoming elections complicate matters politically.
Russia is in the worst position because of the hit from capital flight last year, falling oil prices, and a heavily indebted corporate sector. The government’s hands are tied here due to the loss of export generated revenue and evaporating credit. Politically, although the government currently has strong support, social unrest is a fear as the economy continues to deteriorate through 2009-2010.
Sexy Deep Throat Girls Jeff said with only a wee bit of embarrassment in his voice, œReg, this is my wife Judy. Judy had a fantastic mouth that turned into a big smile showing full lips and lots of white teeth. All of which encased a red tongue that looked very talented. I stood up to meet her and shake her hand. Standing 6 foot 5 inches I towered over this little bundle of heat. My first impression, arrived at in under 5 seconds of our introduction, was, œThere is NO fucking way he can handle this hot bitch! Mr. Chance gripped my hips, holding me still for the most partI moved with his thrusts, and that provided the movement that stroked Mr. Massey within me. I looked down and saw Mr. Masseys eyes were closed, and I made sure to caress his chest with my own...he grunted with passion as our movements affected his cock, and as his hands busied himself upon my ass I realized that he was actually manipulating his fingers so that he could feel the occasional thrust of Mr. Chances cock with his fingertips. Being it was new years, I had to dress to impress, which meant that the suit was pulled from the closet and taken to the cleaners to be cleaned and pressed. I had to start that day at 6 rather than 8 to make sure all the nights activities were in order. Well I arrived at the bar around 5 figured a beer and dinner before work and I would be set. I walked in, in shorts (it was in the 70s) and a t-shirt. Proceeded to order a Bud light and some wings. Right away I was being asked what was going on, and I tried to keep a little secret of what I had planned. Rohini didnt elaborate further on that topic; instead promised me to divulge the details at an appropriate time. Nothing much happened for quite some time and I was losing hope. Sometimes, I thought, It was in my best interest if nothing happened. Rohini, on the other hand, was very optimistic. She even conned me into a bet that Mayuri would accept Shrini as her new master before the end of this year. Opening his door, Chad pulled Kelly in after him and shut it, making sure to lock it, too. He pushed her up against the door and leaned in to kiss her succulent lips. But Kelly turned her head and ducked under his arms, avoiding his kiss. What about the tour, Chad? she teased, walking to the center of the spacious room, looking around while turning on her heel.
