So today s emerging market economies should be richer than today s advanced economies were back then, right?

Less advanced and emerging market economies in Europe are facing major challenges.

Key trends in emerging market economies include high and increasing unemployment and low employment rates.

It has become apparent, however, that emerging market enthusiasts underestimated at least two critical factors. First, emerging economies motivation to transform their growth models was weaker than expected.

Emerging Economies Misinsurance Problem

Emerging Market Resilience

Eighth, some emerging market economies with weaker economic fundamentals may not be able to avoid a severe financial crisis, despite massive IMF support.

The Emerging Economies Eurozone Crisis

Many forecasts suggest that by 2030, the four largest emerging market economies will have overtaken the G 7 in combined size, and that by 2050, today s emerging market economies will represent more than half the global economy and an even larger share of the world s population. These forecasts all assume that economic growth will be generated in cities.

The Fed s Risk to Emerging Economies

The Asset Crisis of Emerging Economies

But, in large part and with a few exceptions in Central and Eastern Europe emerging market economies improved their fiscal performance by reducing overall deficits, running large primary surpluses, lowering their stock of public debt to GDP ratios, and reducing the currency and maturity mismatches in their public debt. As a result, sovereign risk today is a greater problem in advanced economies than in most emerging market economies.

Calls for effective representation of the developing and emerging market economies in the consultations and decision making on the reforms of the international financial architecture.

Indeed, the IMF expects that emerging and developing economies will grow by 6 in 2010 and 6.3 in 2011. Emerging market economies have not only cushioned the global impact of the recent crisis, but have also helped industrialized countries reverse the recessionary trend of 2008 2009.

These are an anemic, below trend, U shaped recovery in advanced economies, as firms and households continue to repair their balance sheets a stronger, V shaped recovery in emerging market countries, owing to stronger macroeconomic, financial, and policy fundamentals. That adds up to close to 4 annual growth for the global economy, with advanced economies growing at around 2 and emerging market countries growing at about 6 .

This is significant, considering the nature of emerging economies.

Deleveraging by highly leveraged firms such as hedge funds will lead them to sell illiquid assets in illiquid markets. And some emerging market economies despite massive IMF support will experience a severe financial crisis with contagious effects on other economies.

NEW YORK Capital flows to emerging market economies have been on a boom bust merry go round for decades. In the past year, the world has seen another boom, with a tsunami of capital, portfolio equity, and fixed income investments surging into emerging market countries perceived as having strong macroeconomic, policy, and financial fundamentals.

Besides, on closer inspection, the emerging market explanation, though convenient, is not quite as compelling as it might seem. Emerging economies are growing much faster than the advanced countries, which neoclassical growth models suggest should push global interest rates up, not down.

There's a discrepancy in what's happening today in the emerging economies.

Our peoples, with emerging economies, do not need charity, but solidarity.

This virtuous feedback loop has now turned vicious, with capital inflows amounting to only a fraction of outflows. Given this, the likely upshot of monetary tightening in the advanced economies will be a long depreciation of emerging market currencies and, in turn, a significant interest rate hike a trend that puts emerging economies at risk for the kinds of credit crises that have bedeviled developed economies over the last six years.

Legislative and regulatory changes, as well as extensive privatization of State owned assets in a number of emerging market economies and economies in transition in the 1990s, and foreign acquisitions of distressed corporations after financial crises, supported the growth in foreign direct investment (FDI).

Moreover, emerging market countries representation in global governance did not keep pace with the increasingly significant role of their economies and currencies. These countries very success thus became an obstacle to policy coordination.

Sterilized intervention usually doesn t work if assets in advanced economies and emerging markets remain perfectly substitutable, inflows will continue as long as interest rate differentials persist. But the demand for emerging market assets is neither infinite nor perfectly substitutable for the assets of advanced economies even for given interest rate differentials because these assets have very different liquidity and credit risks.

That is the question facing several emerging market economies, and its impact extends well beyond their borders. Indeed, it is a question that also speaks to the increasingly worrisome outlook for the global economy.

There will be recession in the euro zone, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Canada, Japan, and the other advanced economies. There is also a risk of a hard landing for emerging market economies, as trade, financial, and currency links transmit real and financial shocks to them.

As a result, living standards in Mexico have fallen further behind the US and most emerging market economies. Probably no other country in the world presents a starker contrast between external success and domestic failure.

Second, emerging market bears point out that these economies have gained major productivity benefits from the migration of surplus rural labor to urban areas, a surplus that will soon be exhausted. This, too, is true.

Ironically, today s pain stems from one of the great successes that emerging economies have achieved the reduction of foreign currency funding in favor of local currency debt. As emerging market central banks leaned against heavy capital inflows in order to mitigate exchange rate appreciation, their currencies became less volatile.

In this regard, another important development is the increasing number of emerging market middle class consumers, their growing purchasing power, and thus their potential impact on global demand. According to one estimate, middle class consumers in a dozen emerging economies today wield annual purchasing power totaling approximately 6.9 trillion.

But sadly, it is concentrated in the emerging economies of a few best performers.

Sitting on the sidelines, emerging market economies in general, and the so called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) in particular, may feel fortunate to be spared this financial maelstrom. But they should think again.

Noting that some of those countries have evolved from the status of economies in transition into functioning market economies,

(b) Retain the in house management of emerging market equities and create a team specialized in emerging markets and alternative investments.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in analyses of emerging economies prospects. In the last few months, enthusiasm about these countries post 2008 economic resilience and growth potential has given way to bleak forecasts, with economists like Ricardo Hausmann declaring that the emerging market party is coming to an end.

In China and other emerging market economies, delays in policy tightening could fuel a rise in inflation that forces a tougher clampdown later, with China, in particular, risking a hard landing. There is also a risk that capital inflows to emerging markets will be mismanaged, thus fueling credit and asset bubbles.
