Sub-Saharan Africa has long been considered to be on the far frontier of the world's emerging markets, but a recent flurry of activity suggests that many of its economies may be appealing to more mainstream investors. Senegal's debut eurobond issue late last year, for example, put sub-Saharan Africa back on the radar for international investors. The deal also prompted several of Senegal's neighbors to consider bringing issues of their own to market this year. Yet some analysts say countries will continue to depend on multilateral lenders. China has been making substantial in-roads to Africa, providing financing for large-scale infrastructure projects, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's partnership with Standard Bank to provide an $825 million, 20-year loan and $140 ...

Emerging market banks have sailed through the global financial crisis in relatively good shape. They have husbanded their resources and remain reluctant to lend aggressively, following an increase in non-performing loans. These banks are generally well capitalized, however, and conservative by nature. Under the eyes of watchful regulators, they have kept loan-to-deposit ratios in balance. The emerging markets also remain highly dependent on the developed world for export markets, although domestic demand in Asia and other emerging markets is becoming ever more important. Many large banks are fleeing developed countries, or cutting back their home operations, and increasing their exposure in emerging markets. The winners of the Survey on Best Emerging Market Banks are presented.

Economies that rank high on the strength of investor protection index have extensive disclosure requirements and give shareholders broad access to information both before and during trials to determine director liability. New Zealand and Singapore, which top the rankings on the index with 29 and 28 of 30 possible points, both require immediate disclosure of a related-party transaction and of the conflict of interest (table 7.1). They require prior approval of the transaction by the other shareholders. They enable the shareholders to hold the directors liable and to have the transaction voided if it damages the company.
