EAST GERMANY: GATEWAY TO COMECON

Abstract

East‐West trade of the future will be consortia‐based, with multinationals standing to benefit most from helping Communist countries to exploit their natural resources. But there's still time for smaller companies to get a profitable foothold in Comecon by way of the industrial pacesetter, East Germany. Be warned, though: It takes a lot of patience, and the East Germans are only interested in buying what they have tried, and failed, to produce themselves at an economic cost. Report by John Lawless
