Newsletter June 2011

Introducing Omni Bridgeway’s Newsletter June 2011

Welcome to the first newsletter for 2011 – we hope you will find it informative.  The Arab world took us all by surprise with the dawn of 2011 seeing a spate of uprisings challenging the often corrupt, nepotistic and long-reigning regimes across North Africa and the Middle East. Whilst the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt suggest the dawn of democracy and greater economic opportunities, the history of these countries has yet to be written – and this is particularly true for Bahrain, Libya and Yemen. In light of the rapid developments here, we have included only one article relating to the region – on the short- and medium-term prospects for Egypt. Our other debt-focused article concerns Venezuela, but we also include five guest-written articles – providing analyses on the UK’s Bribery Act 2010, on 2011’s top risks, on the financial, economic and political situation in the five Central Asian “’stans”, and on North Korea. We would also like to draw your attention to the conference that we are sponsoring and organising for the fourth time, to be held in Amsterdam on Thursday 22 September 2011 The “Funding and Managing Dispute Resolution Conference” will focus on the theme of minimising costs and maximising results. Speakers will talk about litigation funding, damage calculations, intelligence and on all subjects that can affect the money you spend on litigation and the money you get out of it. We hope you enjoy this newsletter and look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam in September.
