They potentially lead to instability in a country because the transfers can happen very quickly â hence the term âhotâ. With the Fedâs interest rates set at a low 0.25% investors turned to riskier emerging economies for greater returns. Now the US economy appears to be stabilising, investors are pulling their money out of the riskier assets and back to America. To remain attractive to investors, central banks in emerging economies have increased their bank rates. You can see Turkey, India, Brazil and South Africa all saw rate rises in January, and Brazil increased theirs further in February, while the rest held steady. Source: OECD âHotâ Money

They all have young, largely literate, growing populations and low government debt levels, although they also have problems with poverty, lack of infrastructure and corruption. Although Russia and China out of the BRICS countries are still seeing high forecasted growth, the remaining countries have seen growth tail off in the last couple of years. Nigeria in particular out of the MINT economies has high growth forecasted for 2013 and 2014. Source: OECD MINTs and BRICS

This is reflected by the key sectors for exports from the UK which focus on infrastructure projects such as construction, financial and professional services, and education.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Deflation: decrease in the price paid for goods and services. Itâs a problem because it increases the real value of debt
- High productivity is a key part of a growing economy, it enables inputs like capital and labour to be used more efficiently and produce a higher level of output.
