Webcasts: Will Frontier Markets Flourish While Industrial Countries Falter?

Standard & Poor's has made available two Web casts that explore the growth of emerging markets. These Web casts combine both video and charts so viewers can easily follow along with the speakers. While record-high oil prices and a U.S. recession are causing a slowdown in most industrial countries and in the global economy, record-high commodity prices and the shifts in world growth patterns are likely to keep most emerging markets on the rise. The first Web cast is a panel discussion moderated by Paul Kilby of International Finance Review. It takes a closer look at emerging markets with credit analysts from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Chief Economist David Wyss as they discuss emerging markets and the global economy.

In the second Web cast, Standard & Poor's Alka Banerjee presents the equity viewpoint on the frontier markets. With the steep rise in stock prices in emerging markets, investors began searching for the next alpha, and frontier markets seemed to be the logical place to explore. Once risky, exotic investments, now they are must-have portfolio allocations. This Web cast can be viewed at http://event.standardandpoors.com/?elqPURLPage=144.
