Economic and Security Monitoring
PEI especially monitors economic development in these areas:
- The Baltic Sea region: The quarterly discussion forum Baltic Rim Economies (BRE) focuses on the development of the Baltic Sea region. In BRE, high-level public and corporate decision makers, representatives of academia and several other experts participate.
- Russian regions and regional centres as well as European emerging markets: for these markets, PEI provides visual information packages with economic information in a nutshell. The packages are mainly aimed at foreign investors and international companies.
- International operations of Russian firms: Due to increased significance of Russian companies in Finland, the Pan-European Institute follows international operations of Russian firms and their impact on Finnish business.
Through a partnership with the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, PEI has monitored the security development (2010-2011) in Europe. The regions covered in this biannual review are the Western CIS (Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus), the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan).
