Helping individuals mitigate the impact of inflation, protect their wealth, and achieve their financial goals in challenging economic conditions.

We've all been feeling the pinch of inflation lately everywhere. The impact of inflation on our financial assets is becoming more and more evident as it escalates with the passing day. There are many unexpected and intimidating aspects of the current economic climate, such as rising grocery costs and interest rates. But even in this unstable environment, there are calculated ways to safeguard your wealth and deal with the challenges of rising inflation. Through the understanding of selected tactics and modifications to the specific financial circumstances, consumers can proactively establish a sturdy financial basis and confidently confront the obstacles presented by inflationary times.

Today, on our platform, we are discussing this essential and engaging subject with Mr. Tserazov Konstantin Vladimirovich. Mr. Tserazov is a strategic business consultant for several large international fintech companies. He has been a member of the Advisory Boards of large financial organizations and fintech companies in the CIS and Middle East regions, involved in the development of management systems, building sales channels, developing digital strategies and e-businesses, implementing new projects in the field of innovative management, and marketing and launching digital products.

Mr. Tserazov, Welcome to Business Lobbies!

As someone who's been in the financial industry for many years, you've seen firsthand how economic shifts can impact our customers. Today, I want to discuss with you, some of the strategies you've developed at the key financial institutions of the East to help people navigate these inflationary times. We are aware that you're committed to empowering your customers with the tools and resources they need to weather this storm and keep their financial goals on track.

1. How has inflation affected your personal financial plan, and how has that affected the organization's customer service strategy?

Mr. Tserazov - A hedging strategy is always in place. There are always assets that demonstrate a return higher than the rate of inflation. You need to dig through art pieces to find an asset like that among them. In the case of an organization's processes, the key is to decentralize activities and introduce a "blockchain-minded" approach to decision-making.

2. What innovative ways have you observed your clients adjusting to inflation outside of interest rates, and how is the organization enabling them with its services?

Mr. Tserazov - The key is to become a friend to the client, looking in the same direction as they do, and being emotionally connected. On the practical side, we offer new digital services that allow us to be closely connected to clients.

3. What guidance would you offer our readers in these inflationary times regarding striking a balance between immediate necessities and future savings?

Mr. Tserazov - In these tempestuous economic waters, prudence is paramount. Save something for the winter, as the old adage goes. Find something that will grow faster than inflation. But remember, history has shown that inflation is often followed by deflation, so be prepared for both.

4. Which personal budgeting advice have you found to be the most useful?

Mr. Tserazov - Tracking every penny is like having a financial GPS. It's painful, but it reveals your money's secret life. You'll find those leakages and plug them in fast. Don't forget to invest in gold and Bitcoin, about 5% of your savings. The breakdown of investments between gold and Bitcoin hinges on various personal factors of an investor.

5. How can your company assist clients in making wise choices while maintaining their financial stability?

Mr. Tserazov - Our role is to be a compass in a stormy sea, offering guidance, not merely products. We help clients navigate these treacherous waters by understanding their unique needs and providing tailored solutions.

6. What particular tactics is your organization using to tackle inflation?

Mr. Tserazov - The core factor of inflation is a lack of trust among economic agents, which leads to a loss of faith in the future. When key stakeholders in the economy regain trust in each other, inflation ebbs. So, rule number one is to keep a positive mindset in the organization and radiate confidence, which clients value the most.

7. What are some possible long-term consequences of inflation on the banking industry, and how is your organization getting ready to deal with those changes?

Mr. Tserazov - Banks are becoming outdated. Inflation is likely to accelerate their obsolescence. We need to be faster and smarter to adapt to these changes.

8. In what ways does your organization assist clients who are experiencing inflationary fears in addition to providing financial products?

Mr. Tserazov - We're not just selling financial products; we're offering financial therapy. We listen to fears, provide tools, and create a safety net. It's about trust and support.

9. Is your organization able to offer any advice on potential prospects for wise investing or saving?

Mr. Tserazov - Think long-term, and consider consulting a financial advisor if the ride gets too bumpy. Don't fall into the trap of vast diversification, which could lead to ‘diworsification’. Stay focused on the core value of the assets you choose to invest in.

10. Consider advising your younger self, who is managing inflation for the first time, on financial matters. Which key message would you convey?

Mr. Tserazov - Remember, wealth is not merely about accumulation but about preservation and enjoyment. Invest in your personal growth and development, not just your finances. Also, don't forget to make time for experiences and relationships that bring value and joy to your life. Aim to invest 50% of your income and surround yourself with business-minded people.

With this, we come to the end of this important and valuable interview. We thank Mr. Tserazov Konstantin Vladimirovich for sharing his constructive thoughts on the topic of ‘Navigating Through Different Financial Strategies for Customers During Inflationary Times’. We wish him all the very best for all his future endeavours and hope his achievements reach new heights and keep breaking barriers in the Middle East and beyond.
