Emerging Financial Markets in the Global Economy

Edited by Larry Sawers, Daniel Schydlowsky and David Nickerson

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: The rapid emergence of active financial markets in a number of developing and transition countries during the 1990s is a momentous phenomenon. Until recently, most developing countries severely manipulated and repressed their financial markets. The dramatic increase in the influence of neo-liberal thinking and laissez-faire governance in developing countries has recently led to serious capital market reform in scores of countries. Most countries without financial market reform are anxiously studying their successful neighbors in order to adopt policies, programs, and regulations that have a proven track record.
