This guide has been prepared by EY Russia to give the potential investor an insight into Russia and its economy and tax system, provide an overview of forms of business and accounting rules and answer questions that frequently arise for foreign businesses. Russia is a fast-developing country and is committed to improving the investment climate and developing a better legal environment for doing business. On the one hand, this makes doing business in Russia an attractive prospect; on the other, it can make for difficult decisions both when starting a business and further down the line.

Natural Fancy white and Fancy black diamonds are not routinely submitted to GIA for grading (fewer than 2,000 since 2008). These fancy-color diamonds are distinctive since the causes of color generally are not atomic-scale defects, but nanometer- to micrometer-sized inclusions that reduce the diamond’s transparency by scattering or absorbing light (some exceptions exist among Fancy black diamonds). To clarify, Fancy white diamonds are those rare stones colored by inclusions that give a “whitish” appearance, and are distinct from “colorless” diamonds on the D-to-Z scale. These two colors, often thought of as opposites in the color world, are grouped here as outliers within the colored diamond world. Both can be colored by inclusions so numerous the stone would fall below the I3 grade on the clarity scale, demonstrating that inclusions, often perceived as a negative quality factor, can create a distinctive appearance. Among the Fancy white diamonds examined for this study, the vast majority (82%) were type IaB, making them a rare subset of a rare diamond type. Based on prior geological research, these are surmised to be mostly sublithospheric in origin (i.e., forming more than 250 km below the earth’s surface). The Fancy white diamonds generally have a different chemistry from D-to-Z type IaB diamonds, with greater quantities of several hydrogen- and nickel-related defects. Among Fancy black diamonds, the major causes of color are either micrometer-sized dark crystal inclusions, nanometer-sized inclusions clustered into clouds, or a combination of the two. For these two colors of diamond, we summarize their gemological properties along with the absorption and luminescence spectra of a representative subset of diamonds from each color, examining how they deviate from the standard grading methodology. Because of their rarity, there has been very little systematic study of either of these color categories, and never a sample set of this quantity, which includes data for ~500 Fancy white and ~1,200 Fancy black diamonds.

Air transport makes an important contribution to global economic development. The wider economic benefits of the industry reflect a combination of the rise in connectivity between countries and cities – enabling the flow of goods, people, capital, technology, and ideas – as well as the long-term trend decline in real air transport costs which underpins these flows. The impact of Covid-19 saw an abrupt and massive decline in connectivity in 2020, with the number of unique city pairs falling by 30% or more than 6,500 routes. The recovery since that time has been more subdued, as travel restrictions have gradually been removed and routes re-opened around the world. To date, domestic air connectivity has recovered to around 89% of its pre-COVID level and international connectivity is currently at around 68% of the level of 2019. The gap between the two is closing, reflecting the broader re-opening of international routes over the course of this year. Despite the observed recovery in the number of city pair routes, it is important to note that at least initially, the frequency on those routes is unlikely to be immediately restored to pre-pandemic levels. In other words, the return of capacity will lag the recovery in the absolute number of city-pair connections.

Fashion companies will need to rethink their operations. Many will update their organizational structures, introducing new roles or elevating existing ones to target key growth opportunities and respond more effectively to risk. Brands may also choose to see the next year as a time to team up with manufacturing partners to sharpen their supply chain strategies. This may involve nearshoring to better respond to fast-shifting consumer demand or leaning more heavily on data analytics and technology to manage inventory efficiently.

Distribution channel mixes are also ripe for reassessment. As e-commerce growth normalises after its pandemic boom, the sheen has started to wear off the direct-to-consumer digital model that propelled many brands over the past decade. As lockdown restrictions lifted, shoppers have made it clear that although they still value online channels — particularly within luxury, where online DTC and third-party platforms will continue to drive growth — shoppers also want brick-and-mortar experiences. Brands will also need to factor in the continued return of international travel to pre-pandemic rates, which will be buoyed by a strong US dollar. Wholesale and physical retail have a new role in revamping customer journeys, requiring brands to look beyond tier-one cities to be physically closer to consumers.

Brands will have to work hard to remain attractive to consumers, given the tough economic environment. Consumer behaviours in 2023 will depend greatly on household incomes. While higher-income households will be less affected by economic pressures and look likely to continue shopping for luxury goods, as in previous downturns, lower-income households will likely cut back or even eliminate discretionary spending, including apparel.

In 2024, the industry is expected to bear the impact of fluctuations in demand that have punctuated the past few years.

Marketing is another area of focus. After years of relying on performance marketing, brand marketing may increasingly take centre stage in the year ahead.

AS consumers travel with renewed enthusiasm in the year ahead, fashion companies may need to revamp how they engage with consumers who are shopping abroad.

The federal classification of cannabis as a narcotic drug has long stigmatized it and tended to obscure the history of cannabis as a widely respected and clinically utilized medicine. The Cannabis plant has been cultivated throughout recorded history for industrial and medicinal use, but what may be even more surprising to readers today is that cannabis was once a popular and accepted medicine in the modern United States. It took decades of anti-cannabis activism by the federal government—first by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics beginning in the late 1920s, and later by the Nixon administration—to change the mainstream opinion within the medical community that cannabis was a relatively harmless substance with numerous therapeutic applications. 

In 2019, a Pew Research Poll found that over 90% of Americans support legalizing medical cannabis, while an even more recent Gallup poll found that 68% also support legalizing cannabis for recreational use.1 2 Most states have now legalized some form of cannabis use, allowing the U.S. cannabis market to grow substantially. The 2020 cannabis industry was estimated at 20 billion USD, with projections that the industry may exceed 40 billion USD by 2024.3 As cannabis use expands in the U.S., issues that require the guidance of scientists and clinicians are rapidly arising. Patients are looking to their medical providers for information on cannabis safety, potential for interactions with pharmaceuticals, and therapeutic applications. However, the existing legal environment significantly hinders the ability of clinicians to engage with cannabis research or offer clear guidance. The U.S. federal government continues to classify cannabis as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, by definition meaning it has no accepted medical use and is unsafe to use even under medical supervision.4 This position cripples the ability of clinicians to advise patients or to influence the burgeoning cannabis industry.

If you run a winery, the worst place to find yourself entering a recession is with bloated inventory levels. That leads to rapid discounting. In a weak vintage year, wholesalers may even try to skip over that vintage in favor of the better vintage, as was the case with the 2000 and 2001 vintages that collided with the dot-com bubble. While every recession since the late ’80s has started with too much wine in the tanks, the good news, even with flagging overall demand for wine today, is that with three years in a row of short harvests and good-quality vintages, we have balanced cellar stocks of well-regarded vintages across the industry, so we are the best positioned we’ve ever been to successfully negotiate a recession, should that actually emerge. Those are the facts as they stand heading into 2023. But in a more intermediate-term view, there has never been a wider gulf between the success of the production side of the wine business and that of the premium side. The downward trend has been discussed in this report for many years. And while trading up is still a part of the premium space vernacular that favors the premium business today, those issues impacting lower-priced wine will eventually impact premium producers too if nothing alters the current consumer trajectory of the entire category. This is a situation our industry has to fully embrace and solve as a whole.

We have been extensively researching the wine business since 1991 and making public forecasts for 20 years. Some years we properly characterize a market change. In other years, our findings might be off in timing or even wrong. The events of 2020 introduced more chaos than anyone could have predicted, but we will once again review the forecasts made last year, just to keep score.

To say 2020 was a difficult year is an understatement. While bruised, most of us are back at our craft with hopeful anticipation as we move toward a COVID-free world. While I can say with confidence that 2021 will be better, I can also say that “normal,” when we get there, will be different from what we left. There are new issues that need to be planned for. We believe this report will inform your team’s thinking about the niche you occupy within the wine business, help you anticipate potential 2021 scenarios that will require planning and guide you toward joining other successful wineries that have adapted to changed market conditions and new opportunities. We hope it will inspire you to get creative about possibilities with your strategic planning, and that engaging in that process may help you improve your chances of success in the year ahead.

The Arctic region is going through a serious transformation as it faces the disruptive challenges of climate change and shifting global political, social and economic patterns. The harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic have long constrained economic activity in the region. The climate crisis, while having a negative impact on the region in some senses, opens up new prospects for development in others. The Arctic has become a geopolitical hot spot where global and regional players seek to increase their influence. Demographic shifts, transformative urbanisation and sustainable indigenous communities are at the core of regional social development.

Understanding the driving forces that will influence the business and political landscape of the Arctic in the coming decades is crucial for policymakers and businesses in order to come up with mutually beneficial approaches for exploiting opportunities without harming the unique Arctic natural and social ecosystem.

New York is the nation's fourth most populous state, and its largest city, New York, has been the U.S. city with the largest population in every census since 1790. However, almost nine-tenths of the state is considered rural, and the population density of New York State as a whole is less than that of six other states. Much of New York is rolling agricultural land and rugged mountains with plentiful renewable resources, including hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass. Portions of two of the Great Lakes—Lake Erie and Lake Ontario—are in New York. The Niagara River, with its massive falls, flows between the lakes and makes the state a leading producer of hydroelectric power. The Great Lakes and Atlantic Ocean shorelines have some of the state's best wind resources. New York produces some natural gas but only small amounts of crude oil, and it does not mine any coal. As a result, New York is dependent on energy supplies from out of state to meet about three-fourths of its energy needs.

New York has the nation's third-largest state economy. It also has one of the most energy-efficient economies in the nation, and New Yorkers consume less total energy per capita than the residents than all but two other states, California and Rhode Island. The transportation, commercial, and residential sectors each account for about three-tenths of state end-use energy consumption. Many of New York's key industries, like finance and real estate; professional and business services; and government, are not energy-intensive, and the industrial sector accounts for only one-tenth of state energy use, a smaller share than in all other states except Maryland and Massachusetts. Per capita energy consumption in New York's transportation sector is lower than in all other states except Rhode Island. The state's energy efficiency results in part from the wide use of mass transportation in New York's densely populated urban areas. In 2019, nearly three-tenths of state residents used public transit to commute to work, which was almost six times the national average. However, energy use increases during New York's winters when demand for heating rises, and arctic winds and lake-effect snows sweep in from Canada across the Great Lakes.
