Thailand Ranked in Top 10 Emerging Markets

Thailand has been ranked No. 3, following China and South Korea in the lead, in the top emerging markets listed by the Bloomberg Markets magazine. The magazine used a dozen of criteria including data from Bloomberg’s financial-market statistics, IMF forecasts and the World Bank. Countries were rated on areas of particular interest to foreign investors – the ease of doing business, the perceived level of corruption and economic freedom.

Investors have been pouring money into emerging markets -- to the tune of $50 billion last year for mutual funds that invest in developing countries, according to EPFR Global.
