World’s Economic Future Depends on Emerging Markets

An excellent piece by Liam Halligan in The Telegraph:

Halligan observes:
“Marketing spiel aside, it is certainly true that EM currencies have tumbled as the dollar has strengthened, which not only makes shares relatively cheap but has also helped various countries to tackle current accounts deficits that had previously made investors nervous. …
As a life-long EM watcher, I care far less about timing the turning of the cycle than I do about the long-term trend….The EMs account not just for 75pc of humanity, but also 70pc of global currency reserves and 55pc of global GDP – up from just 30pc a decade ago.”
