The Forum is focused on some 70 economies in East and South Asia, Eurasia, Latin America and Africa that share prospects of superior economic performance, already have or seek to create a conducive business environment and are of near-term interest to private investors, both domestic and international. We expect our current list of EMCs to evolve over time, as countries’ policies and prospects change.
