 It might seem implausible, but yes, here at PMR we believe that the financial crisis might actually be beneficial, but only if the opportunities are properly used. As a consultancy and advisory firm specialising in the Central Eastern Europe we have prepared a set of executive summaries grouped into the PMR Crisis Aid Kit, which show opportunities that could be found in the countries of the region. If someone asks 'How can I save money and increase sales?', we answer 'Explore opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe'.
At least one of the three cures in the PMR Aid Kit will be applicable to help you not only survive the crisis but become stronger when the global economy recovers. Our executive summaries, based on more than 15 years of experience in helping companies do business in Central and Eastern Europe, will give you a better understanding in how we believe your company could win during and after the crisis.
Contents of the kit include executive summaries covering the following subjects:
- How to increase sales and find an attractive operations environment - Central and Eastern Europe is an area consisting of 19 countries altogether, integrating 365 million people (nearly 1.3 times more than the population of the US) and with a combined forecasted GDP of EUR 2,903bn in 2008. All those numbers are accompanied by a catch-up effect fostered by an increasing disposable income and purchasing power of local consumers, makes Central and Eastern Europe a very interesting market, which cannot be ignored by any company with global aspirations. This paper's objective is to aggregate their particular economical performances so that it would present a single economical area. However, this will be done having in mind the region's heterogeneity in terms of economical development, location, political situation and last but not least incentives for new investors, like low corporate income taxes, attractive human resource costs and sectors that would benefit from going into the Central Eastern Europe.

- Buy good value for money products and cut the costs - The benefits of sourcing in CEE for the international business community are more than just good value for money (when it applies) and shorter distances leading to lower transportation costs. The European culture means that the clients of producers are more similar in their mentality and, to some extent, lifestyle than Asian or South American producers. If the world economy is gravitating to the BRICs as many increasingly argue, Central Europe is a natural supply base for both Western Europe and the Russian markets. Furthermore, as global business relocates its factories to low cost Europe the opportunities are increasing all the time. This white paper illustrates the opportunities for purchasers in the Central and Eastern Europe region and highlights the reasons why it can be difficult to make progress. It also provides a tool kit to assess an organisation?s readiness to source and makes action recommendations for those to whom the strategic issues are too profound to ignore.

- Buy assets cheaply - Another trend is the falling price of valuable assets in the region - a trend interesting not only to companies already looking at Central and Eastern Europe as a possible place for sourcing and development, but also to companies who have not even thought about expanding to this region. This paper gives a valuable insight into Merger and Acquisition opportunities that are currently emerging in this part of Europe.

The financial crisis that has spread across all global markets and led to the domination of bears on major stock exchanges does not remain without an impact on Central and Eastern Europe.
