VietNamNet Bridge – In its March edition, Bloomberg Markets
Magazine ranks the top 25 frontier markets for investors. Vietnam ranks first
in the list.
Frontier markets could also be
termed as “pre-emerging” markets. These countries are distinguished by capital
markets that are underdeveloped compared to emerging markets.
However, the scoring system the
magazine used indicates that these frontier markets are more desirable
investment destinations than the emerging market counterparts.
Bloomberg Markets used a variety
of criteria to rank these countries, from government debt to labor force
participation ratios. The countries are evaluated in each of these criteria,
then the points in each category are added together to determine the total
score on a scale of 0-100.
The data used by Bloomberg
Markets Magazine as a basis for assessment includes data from the World Bank
(WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Transparency International (TI), the
financial news agency Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and Heritage
Foundation, etc.
The list is dominated by African
and Asian nations, though a few European and South American countries also made
the cut.
The top ten countries in the
list: Vietnam, Qatar, Lithuania, the UAE, Botswana, Romania, Saudi Arabia,
Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Estonia.
