AALEP TO SERVE AS YOUR GATEWAY TO EMERGING MARKETS

Even though the Brussels Summit on 9 December brought an agreement on binding rules over tax and spending, and sanctions against countries that overspend, the recession will still be a reality to tackle for EU business leaders in 2012. As governments, corporations, financial institutions and the European Union work to transform themselves there is a real risk of severe disruptions to normal patterns of economic activity.

The first half of 2012 will therefore continue to be volatile and business leaders in the Eurozone need to take precautionary steps to minimize risks as well as see the opportunities when and where they are offered.

From AALEP's perspective the best hope of a growth stimulus lies in exports, above all to the emerging economies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates indicate that 70% of world growth over the next few years will come from emerging markets, with China and India accounting for 40% of this growth.

In the meantime, corporate boards have to review and implement their strategies for coping with low or zero growth in the Eurozone. Companies need therefore to ensure that they have an eligible strategy for emerging markets in Asia, Africa and South America.

With partners and active collaborations with prestigious partners in India, Southeast Asia, Russia etc.., AALEP is dedicated to serving as your gateway to emerging markets.

If you think your company or organisation might be open to adding an 'emerging market' component to your business plan in 2012, AALEP would certainly look forward to having a conference call with you and your colleagues when your schedule permits to discuss your ideas and needs, and then see how we might be of value to your mission moving forward. Unlike sizeable retainers often associated with large consultancies, AALEP can provide you a comprehensive and personalized range of services for market entry strategies, economic and political anlaysis and public policy advocacy for gaining access to emerging economies and their decision-makers for a fee that does not appreciable affect the bottom line of your company. In most cases, the fee of our standard package is a retainer rate of € 5,000 per month.
