Taking the plunge: There are those that say UK firms will have to adapt to the euro or risk being marginalized. Others maintain that, as non-members, UK firms need not lift a finger

Article Abstract:

There is commitment from the 11 countries that are joining the European Monetary Union (EMU), but it is impossible to foresee the impact of the new currency on European business. British companies will face further complications with being outside the euro zone. Some multinationals have prepared for the arrival of the euro, but deciding to embrace the euro is more difficult for smaller and medium sized companies. There is a wealth of information available from management consultants and computer specialists, aiming to help companies re-evaluate their business design.

Kazakhstan: out of obscurity

Article Abstract:

Kazakhstan is proving popular for capital investment from the west due to its abundant resources such as gas, oil and wheat and the availability of workers who have been educated and who are keen to work in a capitalist economy. Foreign investment in Kazakhstan is predicted to reach over $1 billion during 1996 mainly in privatised state owned businesses. Despite the success in gaining financial investment into Kazakhstan, the authorities do not always treat investors fairly which in the long term could alienate further interest from the west.
