How Exposed Are We To Russia ?

On average, in Europe our companies have a 3% revenue exposure to Russia, but there are countries at higher risk

We haven’t seen yet the Russian recession we will experience in 2015, but, as 2014 comes to an end, it’s useful to get ready for it.

So the question here is: how much are our companies generally exposed to the Russian crisis ?

A good method to assess the issue could be the analysis of revenue exposure:

Austria is the most exposed country. You may say that, after all, an average of 3% is not that “risky”.

Well, it turns out it is. In a world in which countries in the Euro Area struggle to grow by a “zero point something” percent a year, a 3% exposure to a currency crisis could be enough to create a new recession.
