Emerging markets are countries experiencing robust economic growth that is helping them transition from developing to developed countries. Characteristics of an emerging market include:
- A high return on investment to foreign investors who put their money in the sectors driving the country’s economy. The high returns make the country an attractive place to invest.
- Government policies that encourage industrialization and rapid economic growth. These policies lead to more jobs, better infrastructure, increased investment in the country, and higher disposable income for the citizens.
- Market volatility due to political instability and natural calamities. This volatility may cause supply and demand shocks, which can make investments risky. However, risky investments often earn high rewards.
Today, the largest emerging markets are China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Pakistan, and Brazil.
