NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–June 7, 2007–Eurasia Group and Citi Private Bank announced today a relationship to offer Private Bank global clients exclusive access to Eurasia Group’s unique political risk analysis. Through specialized client briefings, conferences and research products, Eurasia Group and Citi Private Bank intend to connect this research with the investment process to deliver a comprehensive view of how political and financial factors interact to affect investments.
“As capital moves increasingly into emerging and frontier markets, decision makers need better methods to weigh political risk against financial reward,” said Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group. “This relationship will couple political analysis into broader investment analysis, which often only includes consideration of economic and financial factors, thus providing a truly comprehensive research offering.”
The flagship product is the monthly publication “Perspectives on Geopolitics,” which will feature Eurasia Group’s Global Political Risk Index (GPRI). The Index provides unique comparative and international political analysis to help global business decision-makers best understand the global economic environment.
I highlight this because the the Eurasia Group is involved in the Iraq oil Production Sharing Agreements.
It is a tiny glimpse at how the elite arrive at consensus before they take it up with the rest of us.
