"Emerging Markets and Financial Resilience: Decoupling Growth from Turbulence" |
| |
| Research in financial market which have special focus on emerging markets has gained momentum since the early 1990s. Today, the role of emerging countries in world economy is even significant. In year 2010, more than 50% of world output expansion at purchasing power parity were contributed by emerging markets; the largest being China 25%, followed by India 10% and Brazil 4%, and given the uptrend economic growth in these emerging markets, the figures are still rising. Recently, we have seen a series of financial crises that originated from both developed as well as the emerging markets. Unlike the emerging market crises that have little impact on their developed markets, the onsets of the recent subprime mortgage crisis that originated from the developed market and its aftermath that is still ongoing, has affected their emerging counterparts. Malaysia as one of the leading emerging markets has no escape from these turbulence. Given the new financial landscape in the emerging markets over the last decade, there is a need to revisit and further explore the existing theory and issues established on the basis of developed markets. |
