Box: New Web Site on Business and Finance in the Baltic Economies

In cooperation with the Stockholm-based Baltic Financial Network, SITE is building an Internet information resource on business- and finance-related developments in the Baltic region. This new Web site will provide information, contacts, and links. The target group of users are decisionmakers in the private sector, but the site will also have appeal as a resource for the policy community, university students, and research institutions. The site will include:

• A calendar of upcoming events of interest; key statistics and business information; information on business meetings, conferences, and international visits; and other relevant information.

• Descriptions of recent and planned economic events.

• Statistics and databases on the Baltic economies from SITE publications and other sources.

• Links to related sites.

• Information on research grants and funds.
