Please click the link below to view Shane Oliver's views on the impact of the Ukraine crisis on investment markets.

Key Points are :

 

  • The situation in Ukraine could get worse before it gets better and so it remains a threat for investors to keep an eye on in the short term.
  • Ultimately it poses a greater threat to the Russian economy than to European and global growth.
  • While uncertainty regarding Ukrainian tension could weigh further on shares in the short term, it is unlikely to be enough to derail global economic recovery.
