Page 13: Ukraine crisis

Impact On Global Economy҉�The Ukrainian economy is going through a

balance of payments adjustment & will witness heavy loss due to the Crimea Crisis

҉�IMF bailed out $17 billion to Ukraine but govt. is looking at tight spending this year

҉�Russian stock market is down 20% this year &  IMF forecasted GDP fall from 1.3%-0.2% in 2014

҉�A third of Europe’s gas comes from Russia, thus the European Union can be at risk

҉�Russia & Ukraine are suppliers of energy, palladium, nickel, titanium & grain risking supply chains of companies using these materials

Page 14: Ukraine crisis

҉�Troubles in Ukraine will hurt Russian banks, which have leant heavily to Ukraine

҉�Automakers in Germany will be heavily affected, since their manufacturing takes place in Russia

҉�More sanctions from US will put Russia into deep recession hitting consumers goods, technology & the financial sector

҉�Russia depends on European imports to keep its stores filled

҉�On the other hand uncertainty in global markets could boost demand for:ΐ U.S. government bondsΐ German bondsΐ Japanese bonds &ΐ U.K. bonds
