Words of Wisdom

 

  • Kingsmill Bond, Chief Strategist, Managing Director, Troika Dialog:

    “Brazil has an over-priced currency, China – there is far too much capital there leading to very low returns, and India has a tiny middle class and a huge bulge – that could lead to the problems seen in Egypt… Russia needs to sort out corruption or get poor; grasp the nettle or fall behind.”

     

  • Michael Calvey, Founder and Senior Partner, Baring Vostok Capital Partners:

    “It does not mean that Russia is a paradise for foreign investors, but it is a more open country for foreign investments than most of the other emerging markets.”

     

  • Nassim Taleb, Distinguished Professor, New York University Polytechnic Institute:

    “We have a very dire situation in the United States, and every day that goes by it gets worse. Every day that goes by, we’re spending money. We’re increasing that cumulative debt.”

     

  • Christopher Granville, Managing Director, Trusted Sources:

    “It is the greatest economic synergy on Earth: China the consumer of resources and Russia on its doorstep.”

     

  • Arkady Dvorkovich, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation:

    “If we don’t see enough liquidity we’ll look into markets from where people are not ready to invest directly in Russia, like London, New York and Hong Kong.”

     

  • Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor, Harvard Kennedy School:

    “From Pericles to 1800, living standards rose only 50%. This has changed radically since the industrial revolution but there is still tremendous potential to catch up in emerging markets. If living standards continuously increase 7% a year in China, over a lifetime they will increase one-hundred fold. This has huge repercussions.”

     

  • Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of “The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report”

    “The Russian market is an unappreciated market because the Western media has no clue about Russia and is always writing negatively about the political system and corruption when corruption in Europe and the U.S. are as bad as Russia. Technically, I think the market is going to break out on the upside right now and move up at least 10 percent.”

     

  • Arkady Dvorkovich, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation:

    “We see significant interest and are not planning to reconsider this year’s schedule (for privatization).”

     

  • Alexei Kudrin, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation:

    “The government is targeting annual investment growth of 7-10%, which would allow the economy to grow faster than 4%. Improvements in the investment climate are a necessary precondition for this to happen, though. Thus, the most important aim for the government is reducing red tape and making progress in the judicial sphere.”

     

  • Joseph Stiglitz, economist, Nobel Prize winner:

    “The financial system will kick back against transparency. Those working in markets see information as power and money, so they depend on a lack of transparency for success.”
