Open Briefing will be closed from Friday 19 December until Monday 12 January for a much-needed holiday!

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our funders and supporters for their ongoing support – it is very much appreciated. I’d also like to extend a big thank you to all our analysts, researchers, associates and advisers who have worked tirelessly over 2014 – thank you!

Wishing all our clients, subscribers and website visitors a happy holiday season and a peaceful new year.

Best wishes,

Chris Abbott
Founder and executive director
