Emerging market investors drive global trade with regional bias and market-seeking strategies.
Investors from developing countries are playing a significant role in international markets, focusing mainly on neighboring regions and countries. They are influenced by market size and familiarity when deciding where to invest. Political stability and transparency are more important to them than corruption control. International trade agreements can help reduce costs associated with investing in different countries. Overall, countries looking to attract investment from emerging economies should have market-friendly policies and join trade agreements.
