Caleb Fundanga of the Bank of Zambia talks about investment in his country during the discussion on emerging markets. At left is Mark Farrington of Principal Global Investors.
In the ongoing search for investment returns, emerging markets offer real opportunity. Yet they also pose challenges such as such as limited access to markets, immature legal and regulatory systems, political and currency risks, and enormous volatility. In March, these markets experienced declines that were second only to the August 1998 Long Term Capital Management crisis and the Russian debt default. What does the future hold? Could "contagion" return to emerging markets? Can risks be mitigated with innovative financial instruments? Panelists will discuss their visions for these markets and how financial technology could help hedge risks and produce both financial returns to capital and social benefits to the community.
