Transitioning Economies
Developing nations in which the economy
is in a period of transition often fall into the
emerging market bracket. These nations are
typically moving towards a more industrial,
modern economy in which residents begin
to experience a higher standard of living,
away from a pre-industrialised, less develo-
ped, lower income economy.
Benefits to Investors
Investors looking towards emerging markets
are attracted by many potential benefits, the
primary of these being the potential for growth.
As a country moves towards becoming a deve-
loped nation, growth can occur rapidly across
a wide variety of industries. Emerging markets
will generally move away from activities such
as agriculture and towards more manufacturing
and industrial activity. However, the potential
for higher returns comes with higher risk.
Emerging markets are defined as those economies
of developing nations that are growing and beco-
ming more engaged with global markets. Countries
can be upgraded or downgraded from the list of
emerging markets, to become classed respectively
as developed nations or frontier markets.
