Eurasia

Despite great geographical differences, many countries in the Eurasia region face similar challenges in transitioning to democracy and open markets following the collapse of authoritarian regimes. Over the past decade, high energy prices have brought economic stability and growth to many resource-rich states of Eurasia, but at a high cost to democratic and economic freedoms. Countering this trend, the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) and its partners are working to strengthen the public-private dialogue, form partnerships that are key to reform, and create a hospitable environment for independent economic activity. With wide-reaching partnerships, CIPE is also working to fight the corruption that local business owners face with collective action and legislative reform.

Throughout the region, CIPE will continue to build the capacity of business organizations, facilitate anti-corruption reform and advocacy efforts, and foster broader public understanding and support for market-oriented reforms linked to democratic society.
