1. Why do experts say India is an emerging market?

2. EMERGING MARKETS The term “Emerging Markets" was coined by World Bank Economist Antoine van Agtmaeland dates back to 1981. According to Chuan Li of University of Iowa's Center for International Finance and Development, "Emerging Markets are countries that are restructuring their economies along market-oriented lines and offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology transfers, and foreign direct investment. Political scientist Ian Bremmerdefines emerging market as "a country where politics matters at least as much as economics to the markets". In recent years, new terms have emerged to describe the largest developing countries such as BRIC that stands for Brazil, Russia, India, and China. By 2050, the combined economies of the BRICs could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world. These countries encompass over 25% of the world's land coverage, 40% of the world's population and hold a combined GDP of 15.435 trillion dollars. These 4 countries are among the biggest and fastest growing Emerging Markets. Source : The Economist

3. CHARACTERISTICS OF EMERGING MARKETS Firstly They are regional economic powerhouses with large populations, large resource bases, and large markets. Their economic success will spur development in the countries around them; but if they experience an economic crisis, they can bring their neighbours down with them. Secondly They are transitional societies that are undertaking domestic economic and political reforms. Thirdly They are the world's fastest growing economies, contributing to a great deal of the world's explosive growth of trade. By 2020, the five biggest emerging markets' share of world output will double to 16.1 % from 7.8 % in 1992. They will also become more significant buyers of goods and services than industrialized countries. Fourth They are critical participants in the world's major political, economic, and social affairs. They are seeking a larger voice in international politics and a bigger slice of the global economic pie. Source : Portfolio Management 2008 - presentation
