As companies in Russia formulate their budgets and business strategies to promote growth and profitability over the next 3 years, our team of Europe economists and risk analysts at Business Monitor International have just completed work on the Russia Business Forecast Report - involving a full investigation of Russia's economy and business environment.

The Russia Business Forecast Report will help you with your strategic planning and decision-making, enabling you to:

* Identify key short- and long-term risks in the areas of political stability, economic performance and outlook, financial volatility and changes in the business environment

* Gain in-depth insights into government and society, provided by our analysts and their international network of government and private sector sources

* Benchmark public and private sector expectations of Russia's economy and business environment against BMI's independent forecasts and risk ratings through end-2006

* Target strategic business opportunities, and guard against pitfalls, in Russia's main industry sectors Relied upon by many leading multinational companies, financial institutions and governments, the Argentina Business Forecast Report provides an indispensable benchmark for Argentina's prospects over the next three years, set against government and consensus views. The Report examines political and social risks posed to the business operating environment and the continuity of economic policy-making, and presents BMI's 3-year central forecast for real GDP growth, industrial growth, employment, inflation and consumption.

The Report also analyses recent trends in fiscal, exchange and monetary policy, the balance of payments, foreign direct investment and debt, and assesses the performance and prospects for leading industry sectors. The report is published four times a year in March, June, September and December, and subscribers receive an Air Mailed paper copy, and a PDF file with a single-user licence by e-mail.
