Archived post from legacy Decis reporting

Good morning and Happy Monday.

A quick scheduling note for Thanksgiving week. The Thursday and Friday editions of the SITREP will not include the headlines or market data. Country stability ratings and news summaries will be unchanged.

President-elect Trump made several additional nominations to cabinet and senior advisor roles over the weekend. Politico has a handy cabinet tracker here to help keep track of nominees and their positions on key issues.

The COP 29 environmental summit ended with a pledge by richer nations to contribute $300bn annually towards climate solutions for poorer countries who bear the brunt of climate change. Although this sum is significantly more than the current amount of climate financing, it was largely condemned as too little, given the scale of the problem. [SOURCE - BBC]

The FT is reporting that Yemenis are being recruited for jobs in Russia only to be forcibly recruited into the army to fight in Ukraine. [SOURCE - FT]

Hezbollah launched a significant barrage of rockets and drones into Israel Sunday night (local) in the midst of fierce fighting in Southern Lebanon. [SOURCE - al Jazeerza] This comes as there are rumors of a potential ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on many of the credible social media accounts. See Barak Ravid in Axios for more.

Long-shot candidate Calin Georgescu, described as a pro-Russia far-right ultranationalist, handily led the first round of Romania’s Presidential elections. Georgescu is anti-EU and anti-NATO, meaning a victory in the run-off on December 8 would be a significant challenge to Brussels and NATO allies. [SOURCE - BBC]

I’m excited about two great new features coming to the Decis Workspace very soon.

First, risk portfolio tracking. You create an exposure profile (what your exposure or investment in a country looks like), and we use that to create a personalized, dynamic risk portfolio. As the country stability ratings change, your risk is automatically updated so you’ll always have clear picture of the risks you face and can plan accordingly.

Second, an updated GeoRisk tracker that combines the baseline stability along with the current trend so you an see all the critical data in one

Let me know if you’d like access to either of these features, and I will add them to your Workspace account. (And if you don’t have a workspace account, just email me and I’ll get you set up.)

The Decis Workspace is the all-in-one platform for analysts, planners and decision-makers. Learn more at decis.ai
