Deutsch-Russische Auslandshandelskammer

The Deutsch-Russische Auslandshandelskammer (German-Russian Chamber of Commerce) is an organization focused on fostering and analyzing economic relations between Germany and Russia. Recent news articles highlight their calculations regarding Russia's increased revenue due to the disruption of global trade routes. Specifically, the Chamber has calculated that the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is leading to significant additional income for Russia through increased prices for oil, gas, and fertilizers. This is because Russia, as a major exporter of these commodities, benefits from the price surges caused by the supply chain disruptions. The Chamber's analysis makes them newsworthy as they provide quantitative insights into the economic consequences of geopolitical events and their impact on Russia's financial standing in the global market. Their calculations are relevant for understanding the economic winners and losers in the current geopolitical landscape.
