The Emerging Markets Investment Universe
The Emerging View
21 August 2015
This is the fourth annual review of the Emerging Markets (EM) investment universe. We provide an
overview of tradable debt and domestic credit markets in 54 EM countries as well as the large cap, small
cap and Frontier Markets for equities. We compare debt statistics with similar metrics for developed
economies to place EM in the global context. We highlight trends and discuss EM indices, the effect of
regulation and USD strength, the rise of corporate bond markets, the likely implications of Fed hikes and
other relevant aspects. We look towards the horizon of fixed income markets, including the growing Sukuk
universe, the opening of China’s bond market, etc. We also peer into the future of EM equity markets,
including the opening of markets in China, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
