“We’re pleased to be able to offer this comprehensive report to businesses throughout the world,” said Rolf Kleiner, senior vice president of KellyOCG. “Eurasia Group’s extensive analyst network has developed a highly nuanced view of local country conditions, providing a unique planning tool for global organizations.”

Findings from the first quarter Global Market Brief and Labor Risk Index include:

• The strength with which countries emerge from the economic downturn will vary widely and governments will struggle to ensure that their crisis-response policies do not have unwelcome consequences.

• The crisis also revealed long-term weaknesses in the fiscal positions of several European governments. In order to restore investor confidence and a stable fiscal outlook, the governments of Greece, Portugal, Spain, and others will need to cut spending and adopt politically distasteful structural reforms.

• China’s large stimulus package effectively spurred growth in 2009 but raises concerns of overheating in 2010.

• Although many governments will continue to support labor markets through economic stimulus, employment growth consistently lags broader economic recovery.

Ian Bremmer, president, Eurasia Group, will conduct a webcast to share the findings of the first quarter report on Thursday March 4 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, 5:00 p.m. Central European Time and 11:00 p.m. Singapore Standard Time. To register, visit www.kellyocg.com/webcasts.
