| | | | Holiday Greetings from the Director | |
| | | | On behalf of everyone at SITE, I would like to extend my warmest wishes for a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful start to the new year.
The past year has once again underscored the complexity of the world we seek to understand - marked by continued geopolitical tensions, Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine and increasing threats to other countries, and persistent political and economic uncertainty. In such times, the values that guide our work at SITE - rigorous analysis, open dialogue, and a commitment to evidence-based policy - remain more important than ever.
I am deeply grateful for your continued interest in and support of our research and activities. Your engagement enables us to contribute to an informed debate and to foster greater understanding of the economic and political transformations shaping our region and beyond.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we remain committed to this mission and to working collaboratively with our partners and audiences toward a more informed, resilient, and inclusive future.

Torbjörn Becker
Director, Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) | |
