emerging market

Growing national economy

An emerging market is a country transitioning from a developing to a developed economy—growing rapidly but not yet fully industrialized or stable.

These nations typically offer high investment potential alongside higher risk: Brazil, India, and Indonesia are classic emerging markets.

The term implies economic momentum and expanding middle classes, distinguishing such countries from both wealthy nations and the poorest economies.
