I read an interesting article in a UK newspaper yesterday regarding UK export focusing on Jim O'Neill, Head of Global Economic Research for US investment bank, Goldman Sachs.This is one of the things he said:
"I got off a plane yesterday after being in Brazil for nine days; the week before that I was in China. A week and a half before that, I was in Russia. I'm even more obsessed with the BRIC countries than I normally am.
"We're living in a rapidly changing world. You go to these countries and you don't hear the words 'credit crisis' mentioned. China, Brazil and India are having an absolute boom. Anybody from the north of England who is in the export business and is not benefiting from it, particularly with the weak pound, has got the wrong product line."
He believes the strength of export markets could help the UK economy to grow.
This coincides exactly with my own sentiments having spent a week in Mumbai. Perhaps if any of us are feeling a little doom and gloom in Europe we should spend a week in one of the BRIC countries coming back refreshed and full of new ideas.
I couldn't agree more and personally after visiting India a couple of weeks ago you start to realise that there is a massive opportunity out there and we should all be tapping into these marketsread an interesting article in a UK newspaper yesterday regarding UK export focusing on Jim O'Neill, Head of Global Economic Research for US investment bank, Goldman Sachs.
