Emerging Markets Index: Asia

Dr. Goldberg talks about Asian findings from the 2008 Emerging Markets Index, a study sponsored by MasterCard Worldwide that charts economic statistics for cities within the emerging markets.

With 15 cities ranked in the top 30 and four in the top ten including #1 Shanghai, #2 Beijing, #6 Guangzhou and #10 Shenzhen, China outshone all other countries in the Index. Also led by Mumbai, the number one city globally in a critical dimension related to financial markets, eight Indian cities appeared in the Index, more than any country other than China.

The Index evaluates 65 cities on eight dimensions related to their business climate, political environment, economic growth, quality of life, and knowledge creation, and explores the compelling global and regional economic trends that distinguish these cities as future development hubs.
