This year’s month of February, which is now behind us, will in the future be sadly marked in history because of the horrible earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, killing more than 50,000 people and leaving millions homeless. Also, this month is marked with the continuing tragic war in Ukraine which took off in February last year.
To which extent our lines of business may be affected by these and/or other major tragedies or geopolitical shifts is hard to say.
In any case, the issue of this newsletter for February includes the following articles:
