How the world sees Greece
Greek election victor Alexis Tsipras wants an entirely different Europe from the one envisioned by Angela Merkel. His success is likely to stoke anger over Germany's EU dominance. Leaders in France and Italy are also hoping for an end to austerity.

Morgan Stanley has a short message for Russia: you're doomed. This past week hasn't been easy for the Russian economy: on Thursday, the EU foreign ministers decided to extend the sanctions on Russia by 6 months. Additionally, the Central Bank slashed interest rates to 15% down from 17% after the economy deteriorated following the rate hike in December. But Morgan Stanley is forecasting a pretty scary forecast for the future too. "We downgrade 2015 growth from -1.7%Y to -5.6%Y and revise our 2016 growth from a mild (0.8%Y) recovery to a 2.5%Y recession," writes Morgan Stanley's Alina Slyusarchuk. "The key new assumption that triggers the revision is the signifcantly weaker oil price, combined with a tighter policy response. At the same time, we see risks to our call as being titled to the downside, given the enhanced risk of further sanctions, and concerns over increased state control over the economy." Unless there's a rebound in oil prices or western-imposed sanction, Morgan Stanley highlights three risks: "We see the implementation risk that 'top-down' stabilization is undermined by special deals to help particular banks and companies" — weakening the ruble and driving inflation. Further potential sanctions on Russia "might trigger rating downgrades and index exclusion, which would drive another wave of capital outflows" — again weakening the ruble and driving inflation. The government might finally introduce capital controls. Now here's the scariest part of the latest Morgan Stanley report: Although initially analysts and Russian politicians alike were likening the current economic crisis in Russia to that of 2009, the latest Morgan Stanley note suggests this one is could be much more severe. "Looking ahead, barring a strong rebound in oil prices or the lifting of sanctions, we see the recession lasting much longer through 2016, unlike the V-Shaped rebound in 2009, particularly given the rising risk of further sanctions," Slyusarchuk writes. Welp. It's not looking good.SEE ALSO: Greece Is Quickly Turning Into Europe's Worst Nightmare Join the conversation about this story »

FA Insights is a daily newsletter from Business Insider that delivers the top news and commentary for financial advisors. A Venezuelan financier who ran the biggest Ponzi scheme in Connecticut's history just got 13 years in prison (Reuters) A Venezuelan financier, Francisco Illarramendi, "was sentenced on Thursday to 13 years in prison for running what US prosecutors called a Ponzi scheme in Connecticut that caused $382.2 million of losses, including for Venezuela's state-owned oil company," reports Jonathan Stempel. Illarramendi's lawyer told Reuters that the sentence was "calculated incorrectly, and that most of the losses 'have been or can easily be' recouped," according to Stempel. "Our wholehearted intention is to appeal the sentence," he said. "While the government has hailed it as the biggest Ponzi scheme in Connecticut's history, it is the only alleged Ponzi scheme in the universe with a surplus." Greece is looking at 'long and painful' negotiations ahead (Charles Schwab) "If the new government goes too far and is inflexible in the negotiations, Greece would run the risk of being expelled from the currency union, something that most Greeks oppose. Yet it is equally clear that European authorities cannot simply reward voters for favoring an anti-austerity party, for fear of fuelling support for similar parties such as Podemos in Spain. Therefore, a difficult period lies ahead," writes Liz Ann Sonders, Brad Sorensen, and Jeffrey Kleintop. "We expect that in the end, European officials are willing to offer Greece an extension on the maturity of its debt, a reduction in interest rates, and more flexibility on reforms. We see only a small risk that this ends with a Greek exit from the Eurozone," they add. Seismic political changes in Asia are making small companies look incredibly attractive for investors (Advisor Perspectives) "At Templeton Emerging Markets Group, we believe Asia's combination of rapid economic growth, generally strong national finances and economic fundamentals has created an attractive landscape for equity investors," writes the Franklin Templeton Investments team. "Seismic changes have been taking place in Asia's political arena over the past couple of years, including major elections, leadership transitions and even a military coup. These political shifts have economic reform implications as well. ... In particular, smaller companies in emerging markets appears poised to potentially benefit amid more market-friendly reforms that break down barriers to entry and inspire entrepreneurship," they add. Advisors must keep up with robo-advisors or die (Financial Advisor Magazine) Noted financial advisor Ric Edelman "stung like a bee with his blunt assessments of the potentially devastating impact robo-advisors could have on the existing advisor model, and how advisors must keep up with technology or die," at the Inside ETFs conference in Hollywood, Florida, reports Jeff Schlegel. “It doesn’t matter who the players are; we can’t stop it," Edelman said. "We’re either going to acknowledge it and participate by providing our own clients with the same types of services, or we’re going to get crushed.” TD Ameritrade CEO: cybersecurity keeps me up at night (Think Advisor) TD Ametride CEO Fred Tomcyzk participated in a "fireside chat" with CNBC's Mandy Drury on Thursday morning, when he spoke about the things that keep him up at night: namely, technology, cybersecurity and fixed income, reports James J. Green. "There are technology trends that are long term and disruptive," he said, including big data and social media, which are "reshaping the ways that all businesses," including his own advisors', produce and market their products and services. He had a thing to say about oil: It's "not obvious that we've hit bottom."Join the conversation about this story »

Yannis Varoufakis is not a household name in North America or Western Europe. But in the coming days people who pay attention to the press and other mass media will hear more about him. He was chosen as the new finance minister by the coalition government led by SYRIZA, the left coalition in Greece. To a small group of mathematically-inclined progressive economists, however, the themes on which Yannis Varoufakis, a former economics professor at University of Sydney, University of Athens and University of Texas at Austin are not unknown. For them, Yannis Varoufakis has a sharp, critical mind. His is a mind that is equally at home in the realms of abstract mathematical models of game theretical economics, or the myth of Minotaur and other ancient Greek myths that can be mobilized to describe many tragic situations. With a Ph.D. from the University of Essex, Yannis Varoufakis is equally at home with the English language and literature. In one of his recent books, he uses the tragic figure of Shakespeare's Macbeth to make his point about the tragic flaws in human character. Varoufakis has also written insightfully about the limits of rationality and the role of indeterminacy in human affairs -- particularly in economic affairs. He also has experience advising the former Greek government of George Papandreou and has an honorable record of making his principled disagreements known to his fellow citizens. This will come as a surprise to his uninformed rightwing and neoliberal critics, but he has also been a consultant to cutting-edge private enterprises. On balance, at least this economist who has also advised the private and public sectors and international organizations, thinks that in Yannis Varoufakis Greece has found an almost ideal crisis-time finance minister. He is a skilled technocrat who knows enough about human hubris and character flaws to be cautious. He is a principled man who cares more about his fellow citizens than the bankers. To be sure, he faces an infernally complex situation -- and, yes, even a tragic situation resulting from human stupidity and human greed -- that will not be easy to manage. But given his background, I expect him to combine firmness in principles and strategy with flexibility in tactics. He, together with the new prime minister and other elected leaders, will provide the kind of tough-minded leadership that can address international negotiations with courage and conviction with the full support of ordinary Greek citizens. This new government will thus negotiate its anti-austerity policies and the medium and long-term growth with equity policies for Greece from a position of genuine strength by going outside the proverbial conventional neoliberal toolbox.

Nicosia is looking forward to Greece’s newly elected Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ visit, Cypriot government spokesperson Nikos Christodoulides said, expressing at the same time his certainty that the discussions to be held during Tsipras first official visit abroad since elected will be fruitful and once again prove the long-standing ties between the two countries. According to Christodoulides, the Cyprus problem, the economic developments, the Turkish provocations in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as well as a number of other matters concerning both Athens and Nicosia will be tabled in the meeting between the Greek Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades. Christodoulides explained that Tsipras is expected to arrive on Monday morning and will hold a series of meetings. Among them will be the private meeting with Anastasiades, which will be followed by a meeting between the two countries’ delegations and a joint press conference. Furthermore, he highlighted that the Greek Premier will also meet representatives of Cyprus’ parliamentary parties. Answering journalists questions on whether the two governments will further coordinate their actions regarding the “hot” issue of the European Union sanctions imposed against Russian individuals and entities, Christodoulides clarified that the vast majority of the European Union member-states’ Foreign Ministers shared their views during Thursday’s Foreign Affairs Council meeting.

Portugal is not a signatory to a possible Greek request for debt restructuring, clarified earlier today the country’s Prime Minister, Pedro Passos Coelho. Addressing the Portuguese Parliament, Coelho assured that he does not intent to participate in any team promoting this request, while clarifying that his country’s debt is sustainable. Portugal exited a 78-billion-euro support program in May 2014, after three years of austerity that plunged the economy and led unemployment to a significant increase. Currently, the country is on a growth track, but even though the unemployment rate fall, debt remains high, exceeding 125% of its GDP. Coelho, who has always been an advocate of reforms and spending cuts, underlined that Portugal and Ireland have done their “homework” and therefore they would not risk scaring investors by opening a debt restructuring issue. In a similar spirit, the chief economic advisor of Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, Alvaro Nadal, speaking in a Madrid radio station, clarified that Greece can follow any policies it wishes as long as it does not clash with the European Union. “If Greece does not provoke the European Union there will be no problem. If it does, there will be problems in various fronts,” he said.

The Greek Parliament Budget Office has warned the government regarding the 2015 state budget process and more specifically the revenue shortfall, the fiscal gap’s widening and the increasing spreads, calling at the same time to take its decisions “as soon as possible.” “The new governments’ decisions must be taken quickly to reverse the negative climate caused by the election, the failure to reach an agreement with the Troika and the New Democracy – PASOK coalition government’s attempt to resort to markets in October 2014 without such an agreement” is noted in the Office’s announcement, underlining, however, that a primary surplus gives the new government a certain freedom in public finances management. The announcement’s authors also distinguish the country’s huge commitments that will have to be fulfilled within the following months, if an agreement with Greece’s partners is not reached soon. Moreover, they took a step further, saying that Greece’s position on the negotiation table is worse than that of the lenders, while they underlined that “a lack of an agreement in relation to the country’s financial settlement would amount to a credit event.” Finally, as they described, a non-agreement with the country’s partners would result in the loss of some 50 billion euros. As they argued, since the spring of 2014, the Memorandum reforms “froze,” while the perceived deprivation revenue has widened the fiscal gap and reduced the state’s cash. “This trend should stop,” the Parliament Budget Office announcement concluded.

The results of the snap elections in Greece, which propelled the leftist Syriza Party to power this week, sent shockwaves to many world capitals. Alexis Tsipras, the new prime minister, has vowed to fulfill his electoral promises, including reversing the harsh austerity plans that Europe has imposed on his country. French President Francoise Hollande was among the first leaders to congratulate the new Greek leader. France and Spain are facing economic austerity plans similar to Greece's, and they will be watching carefully how Greece will deal with its major creditors, including Germany and the United Kingdom, who had engineered the very tough austerity plan that Tsipras used to vault into power. While all the focus of the coverage of the Greek elections was on the economic policy, the radical leftist leader has been very vocal on where he sees his country's position regarding Israel and Palestine. During his political life, and especially in the current election campaign, Tsipras has vowed to end Greece's military cooperation and joint exercise with Israel and to recognize the state of Palestine on the 1967 borders. "Seeing Israel killing children in Palestine is unacceptable. We should unite our voices and forces so as to live in peace, expressing our solidarity to the Palestinian people," Tsipras said during an anti-Israel demonstration in Athens last summer. "When civilians and children are killed at beaches facing the same sea that borders on the European continent, we cannot remain passive, because if this happens on the other side of the Mediterranean today, it can happen on our own side tomorrow,'' he said in reference to Israel's killing of four Palestinian youths playing on the Gaza beach in August 2014. If the Greek prime minister will recognize the state of Palestine, it will be the second European country to do so, following Sweden. It will likely encourage other reluctant countries to join as well. Although Greece has traditionally been a big supporter of Palestinian rights, its actions in the last few years deviated from this path. In 2011, Greece prevented a flotilla to ship out of its ports towards Gaza. The newly elected Greek leader who does not wear a tie even to official events made history by refusing to have a religious swearing-in ceremony. The Syriza leader paid a visit to Archbishop Leronymos to inform him that he will not be sworn in by him and will only be taking a political oath. Tsipras also told the Greek Orthodox religious leader that he would not be needed at the swearing-in ceremony of the new government because the oath of Cabinet members will be political and not religious. Many in the Middle East, especially in Palestine and Jordan, are trying to figure out what the distancing of the country's new leader from the powerful religious establishment will mean here. The Orthodox Church has been directly connected to Greece since the 15th century; the last time it was led by an Arab patriarch, Atallah, was centuries ago. He died in 1492. Since then, every patriarch and most bishops have been Greek and they have used every trick in the book to keep the church in Greek hands. Greece's flag flies over most Orthodox Church property despite the opposition of the local Arab congregations. The Arab Orthodox community also accuses the Greek church leaderships of selling (it is actually long-term leases) historic church property and lands to the Israelis. (Israel's Knesset is built on property that is on a long-term lease from the church.) A campaign against the current patriarch included public protests with signs reading "Undeserving". Both Palestinian and Jordanian officials have been silent on the struggle against the patriarch. It is not clear if the secular political powers in Athens can do anything about this current struggle between the Arab parish and the Greek religious leadership. But one thing is clear -- with secular Tsipras in power, it is unlikely that Athens will give automatic backing to the Orthodox religious establishment in Jerusalem. The Greek elections and the impressive popular support that the Syriza Party garnered have certainly grabbed world attention. Athenian democracy, which was developed in the 5th century BC, remains a unique and intriguing experiment in direct democracy. The country that brought to the world modern democracy has shown the refreshing meaning of giving people the right to say who rules them. Let us hope that our region will benefit politically from the new elections and also absorb the liberating power of democracy.

Nor would it be rowing back on election-winning pledges by asking for an extension to its €240bn (£180bn) bailout programme. “This platform enabled us to win the confidence of the Greek people,” Varoufakis said, insisting that the logic of austerity had been repudiated by voters when the far-left Syriza party stormed to victory in Sunday’s election.
