Impact Of Global Financial Crisis And Emerging Markets

The BRIC emerging economies are some of the most successful market liberalisers with India having particular prosperity in liberalising its inward capital flows and currency convertibility from 1991 to foreign investors. Post liberalisation India is regarded as one of the fastest growing economies with an annual growth rate of 6.86% compared to 4.07% pre liberalisation (World Bank, 2014). Economists such as Saikia (2012) regards this success down to India’s rise in investment. In the decade after reforms FDI inflows to India has grown by a staggering sixty fold increase to $6 billion (Kletzer, 2004) showing how the India economy has become a major destination for FDI and is reaping the economic benefits.

Kvint (2008) indicates that some statistics of reports on emerging market are contradictory, and this inconsistent situation even can be seen from IMF’s reports. For instance, some emerging countries like China and India are classified as emerging markets and are included in the category of developing countries. On the other hand, many of the sub-Saharan countries as emerging markets are definitely still undeveloped. Kvint (2008) suggests that the main and most important characteristic of all emerging market countries is that they are at some stage during the processes of economic maturation and development of free markets. An attractive environment for foreign investors and global trading has been created based on this characteristic. He suggests the main characteristics in his study:

Major stock market indices globally are trading near the high levels of 2007-2008. Some countries like India have surpassed the previous highs of 2008, and are trading comfortably higher (^BSE, Jan 2008: 20,000 approx.; May 2016: 25,000

The impact of the financial crisis in 2008 is so far , it has resulted in various industries have revived a shock, even many large companies have been forced into bankruptcy.Inflation is a result of the decline in the quality of life, the weakening of people 's ability to pay. The outbreak of the financial crisis from the United States and then spread to the world,so this essay analyzes the reason of the US financial crisis, it is equally applicable to the countries in the world and take warning,that is the lack of supervision of financial institutions in the United States.

The economic turmoil of 2008 is arguably the worst financial crisis since the great depression of the 1930s. Although financial crisis is not entirely new, each one is characterized by unique challenges that make it difficult to make a prediction on when and how the next financial crisis might occur. The financial crisis of 2008 to 2009 was marked by a failure in the efficiency of the financial markets, inability of regulatory bodies to regulate the financial product and was catalyzed by weak macroeconomic fundamentals prevailing at the time. In the aftermath of the turmoil financial crisis, there has been a debate in the financial community on whether there are specific indicators that precipitate a financial crisis and whether the global economy is at a risk of experiencing the a repeat of a financial crisis of a similar nature to the crisis of 2008. The

Since the great depression, the global economy has been facing a number of ups and downs. With the markets being built rapidly and crashing down in the other instant, elements that actually make up the skeleton of the international economy seems to have correlated variables. These variables seems to have been correlated with each other in numerous combinations and their correlation is what makes the market fluctuate. The volatility of the global market becomes more apparent in times of recession when the correlation between variables like stocks, bonds, US dollar, Euro, gold and oil becomes more apparent. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that these correlated variables should be studied with a very keen eye. Since the link between currencies, commodities, stocks an bonds runs very deep, change in any one of them seems to have a profound impact on the rest hence changing the face of the market.

According to latest MSCI Emerging Market Index, there are 24 emerging market in the world, including China, India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa – also called the BRICS countries. According to the World Bank, in 2013, the total GDP of BRICS countries was $15.8 trillion, putting the BRICS in the third place after EU ($17.3 trillion) and US ($16.8 trillion). Therefore, without going into the detail GDP of other developed and emerging economies, it can be inferred that the importance of emerging countries in the global economy has been increasing over time. In view of the increased significance of these economies, the current study is expected to provide some additional light in the area of the legitimacy of multinational companies in emerging economies.

BRIC nations are defined as becoming the largest economic bloc in the world by 2050. The foundation therefore among other aspects lies in the population of these countries. Brazil has a population of 186 million (in 2006) people. Further can be seen that the human development index (in 2003) can be found at 0.792, which is following Russia the highest index.

Although the U.S. has become the world 's largest economy by making up half the world 's total global market capitalization, an investor would likely miss opportunities elsewhere by holding only domestic stocks. Spreading the portfolio across a number of countries helps investors to take advantage of a larger opportunity set, reducing the chances of losses that occur only on a single market. Although, diversification cannot guarantee profits or protect against losses, historically U. S. market returns have benefited more from emerging markets than from other developed markets. In recent years, emerging markets have become more attractive to investors due to their rising economic productivity and favorable demographics, associated with

When analyzing causes of the global financial crisis and its specific symptoms, it is clear that the deepening of globalization processes and high level of internationalization of the world economy determined the significant losses of national financial systems and slowed down their development.

According to Goldman Sachs in 40 years time the BRICs as a whole could be larger than G6 in US$

The Global Financial crisis started with the burst of US housing bubble, which peaked in 2006. The main reason for this was the subprime lending, deregulation of the financial sector, off book financing and underwriting practices. Loans were issued to the customers with poor credit rating thinking that the price of houses will rise in the future and due to overvaluation. This resulted in decline in credit availability, damaged investor faith, and reduced international trade and an impact on the stock market. As European Union has high trade ties and financial ties with US, the European Union suffered the effects of this financial crisis as well resulting in the Global Financial crisis of 2008 or the Great depression of 2008.

Financial crisis of 2007-2008 is widely considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s. The origin of this big storm dated back to the high home prices of the United States. After America’s entire investment banking system was attacked, many industries such as auto industry also went bankrupt. Unfortunately, it spread quickly to the whole world, causing huge damages to the global economy. Therefore, my study will focus on the effects of the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Not only the effects on advanced and developing countries, but also the effects that can still be felt today.

Investing in emerging markets offer tempting advantages to investors. The volatile economies of countries considered to be in this category have a potential for extraordinary returns. A caveat to investors considering opportunities in emerging markets are the presence of unstable governments, the chance of nationalization, poor property rights protection, and large swings in prices. Emerging markets are far from a sure thing. But, despite high individual risk, emerging markets can reduce portfolio risk. The volatile economies of these countries have such low correlations compared to the domestic market that they actually provide the greatest degree of diversification.

There are many significant change in the world economy occurred, marked by globalization each country has different speed of development under different political and cultural background. During this period, Such as the United States of America 's economic status from the rapid development to the decline, then move to the current stable trend. Brazil, Russia, India, China, which named ‘BRCIS’ those developing countries’ economic performances are very catch the attention in recent years. The decline and rise of these countries ' commercial economy are closely related to their political culture. Therefore, it attracted the attention of scholars and research circles.
