  • The MINT Countries As Emerging Economic Power Bloc: Prospects and Challenges
    Developing Country Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-607X (Paper) ISSN 2225-0565 (Online) Vol.4, No.15, 2014 The MINT Countries as Emerging Economic Power Bloc: Prospects and Challenges Adeolu Durotoye, PhD Department of Political Science and International Studies College of Social and Management Sciences, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract MINT is a new acronym referring to the economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey. The term is being popularized by Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs, who had created the term BRIC. The idea is that Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey have very favourable demographics for at least the next 20 years, and their economic prospects are encouraging. Is it likely that these countries would do enough on the economic-policy front to quickly realize that potential? Can they do what is needed to lift the country’s growth rate to double digit? Will they be able to advance infrastructure, increase middle class and rapidly decline poverty rates? Are these MINT countries in a “mint” condition to fulfil expectations of their emergence as economic powerhouses? This paper will rely on existing literatures, newspaper articles as well as World Bank data to achieve its assignment. We will conclude that the MINT countries will have to engage their youth population creatively and productively to be able to actualise their future economic potentials. The paper suggests economic models that will make the favourable demographics an asset. Keywords : MINT Economies, Economic Power bloc, Youth Engagement, Nigeria, Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia 1.

  • ROGE-2017-253 Prof. Bates
    The Business and Management Review, Volume 9 Number 1 July 2017 An examination of market entry perspectives in Emerging Markets Marvin O. Bates Department of Marketing, College of Business Lewis University, USA Tom A. Buckles Department of Marketing & Entrepreneurship School of Business & Management Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, CA, USA Key Words Emerging Markets, Entry Strategies, BoP, Base of the Pyramid Abstract This article examines emerging markets from two major perspectives. First the financial growth models typically based on a country’s GDP growth; this financial growth perspective gave rise to seven major definitions of emerging markets: BRICs, CIVETS, MINT, etc. The second perspective is an economic levels perspective based on the World Economic Pyramid; this economic levels perspective resulted in three global categories – the Top, Middle and Base of the Pyramid (BoP) markets. A new market expansion and market entry strategic model is proposed for each of the three World Economic Pyramid levels: Inter-country expansion, Intra-country entry, adjacent market entry, and Opposite market entry approaches. Prahalad’s 4 A’s marketing strategy (Awareness, Affordability, Access and Availability) for the BoP market is discussed, and the requirement for an articulated marketing strategy for the “middle market” is identified. Six operational biases identified by BoP strategic theorists held by MNCs regarding BoP market approaches are identified and discussed. And finally, the BoP strategic theorists identified the need for a BoP marketing focus replacing the traditional 4P marketing approach (i.e., Product, Price, Place and Promotion) with a BoP 4A marketing approach (i.e., Awareness, Affordability, Access and Availability). This article summarizes these recently evolving perspectives and insights to provide a context for future market research in both emerging and BoP markets.

  • Markets' Globalization and Emerging Economies the Mints Economic
    www.ijbcnet.com International Journal of Business and Commerce Vol. 5, No.02: [38-55] (ISSN: 2225-2436) Markets’ Globalization and Emerging Economies The MINTs Economic Growth: Developments and Prospects Prof. Scalera Francesco Corresponding author Lecturer in Strategy and Business Policy and International Management Department of Economics University of Bari “Aldo Moro”, Italy P. Amedeo Street 160 -70122, Bari [email protected] PhD. Mag. Todri Ardita Lecturer in Portfolio Risk Management and Econometrics Finance and Accounting Department, Faculty of Economics University of Elbasan”Aleksander Xhuvani”, Albania Former Officers House Elbasan, Albania [email protected] Abstract In a few years’ time, the acronym BRICS has become a real point of reference for all experts and for everyone who is interested in those subjects which are linked to the new emerging economies and to the world competitive dynamics. Even other acronyms and abbreviations coined by different institutional investors, merchant banks and economists were successful. In fact, such terms as “Next Eleven”, “EAGLEs”, “CARBS”, “MIKT” e “E-7” are just some of the most known in the rich dedicated literature. Recently, emerging Countries have suffered a dramatic cut in their investments involving the main industrial sectors and many analysts questioned the firmness of their economic systems over the long period. Though interest and enthusiasm raised by emerging Countries have gradually faded in the mind of investors and multinationals, some of them are still drawing the attention, as it is the case of those Countries known as MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey), that are showing interesting economic growth rates. These areas share a number of factors that are particularly attractive to the main international investors and are likely to offer, in the next future, plenty of opportunities for development that are presently difficult to be quantified.

  • B20 Press Release
    B20 Press Release B20: The German business community passes the torch to Argentina G20 must not allow itself to be divided Daniel Funes de Rioja, successor of Jürgen Heraeus as B20 Chair Trade, energy and climate, digitalization, infrastructure, education and training important B20 issues German business passes on the presidency of the official G20 business dialogue, the Business20 (B20), to Argentina. The hand-over ceremony will be held in Buenos Argentina on Wednesday. “We can be proud of what we have accomplished as B20 Germany,” said B20 Chair Jürgen Heraeus on Sunday in Berlin. The handover will take place one month before Argentina will officially assume the chairmanship of the G20 and the 11th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization in Buenos Aires. “The B20 is crucial for an effective G20 that shapes globalization,” emphasized Heraeus. Under the German Presidency, more than 700 leading business representatives from all economic sectors developed joint policy recommendations addressing the major challenges of our time. For the first time, the B20 focused on the topics of digitalization, climate change, and energy efficiency. “The G20 Summit in Hamburg was a partial success, given the difficult negotiating climate. We are nonetheless disappointed that the G20 did little more than secure the status quo in many areas such as international trade,” continued Heraeus. The G20 must now fulfill the obligations of Hamburg. “The G20 must not allow itself to be divided.” It must create a global environment that promotes sustainable growth and development around the world. This includes open markets and climate protection. “We stand with B20 Germany for open and rules-based markets.

  • The Private Mint in Economics: Evidence from American Gold Rushes
    CMFA No. 003 WORKING PAPER 2021 The Private Mint In Economics: Evidence from American Gold Rushes Lawrence H. White Professor of Economics, George Mason University, and Senior Fellow, Cato Institute March 17, 2021 CMFA Working Papers are intended to circulate research in progress for comment and discussion.

For more information, please visit www.Alt-M.org. The private mint in economics: Evidence from the American gold rushes Lawrence H. White* Department of Economics, George Mason University [email protected] Abstract: Given a gold or silver standard, some economists have supposed that the private minting of coins is socially inefficient because, due to information asymmetry, private coins will be chronically low in quality or underweight. An examination of private mints during gold rushes in the United States 1830-61, drawing on contemporary accounts and numismatic literature, finds otherwise. While some private gold mints produced underweight coins, from incompetence or fraudulent intent, such mints did not last longer than a few months. Informed by newspapers about the findings of assays, money-users systematically abandoned substandard coins in favor of full-weight coins. Only competent and honest mints survived. JEL Codes: E42 , D83 Keywords: gold standard, coins, mints, gold rush, information asymmetry *The author gratefully acknowledges support from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and the Eudaemonia Institute of Wake Forest University. Views and errors are his alone. 1 The private mint in economics: Evidence from the American gold rushes Although not as prominent in economics textbooks as the case of the lighthouse scrutinized by Ronald Coase, the precious metallic mint has also played the role, in the writings of some economists, of what Coase (1974, p.
