This Factbook puts these markets in perspective with their domestic economies and compares them to markets in the developed world. The Factbook is divided into eight sections. Introduction: includes background information on IFC and the IFC indexes; description of emerging markets in general and emerging stock market performance and characteristics in particular; performance and characteristics of world stock markets in 1993 and between 1984 and 1993; discussion on IFC indexes, with 50 pages of detailed statistics on the IFC Global Indexes; discussion with details on the IFC Investable Indexes; data summaries for all IFC Index Markets, as well as market, political, and economic analyses; time series summary of data for markets not currently included in IFC Index Market coverage; and the appendixes provide sources and data notes, investor information, a directory of emerging stock exchanges around the world, and information on IFC's Emerging Markets Data Base (EMDB). The Factbook is designed to serve as a reference for institutional investors, investment bankers, academics, economists, and journalists. (Copyright (c) 1994 International Finance Corporation.)
