C-SUITE PERSPECTIVES

Russia and India: A Sanctions Odd Couple?

19 APRIL 2022

Steve Odland sits down with Murray to discuss the relationship between India, Russia, and China, and what it means for the global economy.

“[India] agrees with the strategic approach of lessening the importance of the US dollar in international commerce and finance, and consequently diminishing the international influence of the United States as a global leader,” says Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board (CED). In this episode, The Conference Board President and CEO Steve Odland sits down with Murray to discuss the relationship between India, Russia, and China, and what it means for the global economy. Tune in for insights on:

  • A new axis: Is Russia strategically aligning with the dominant economies of Asia to form a new axis? How would this new axis affect Western companies?
  • Differing models: Why would India align itself with Russia, given their different economic systems? What is the impact when the longest standing democracy in the world starts aligning itself with an autocracy?
  • One world, two financial systems: What would be the effect of an alternate banking system used by Russia, China, and India?
  • Pakistan: Is the tension between India and Pakistan driving India’s involvement with Russia?
  • Outcomes: What is the best-case scenario for the US? The worst-case scenario?
