I believe most of the countries in South Asia should be regarded as emerging markets and should be in the list, so should Nigeria, after all it did achieve significant growth since the 90s. Sri Lanka has an educated work force and its economy has a bright future, so does Bangladesh. It is one of the handful of nations which has successfully combatted terrorism in home ground and it has higher GDP than many couuntries from the 2nd world. So why are these 3 nations not mentioned here? I would be glad if explained in detail. Thank you.
I recently added information to the Emerging Markets entry in Wikipedia and noticed that there's been a request for a citation. When I made the entry, I included the citation so I'm not sure why I'm being asked for one. Here's the entry:
Emerging markets can be distinguished between three sub-groups according to market size (population) and economic attractiveness (GNI per capita in purchasing power parity terms).
I cited Vital Wave Consulting, a company that specializes in understanding emerging markets and accelerating business for technology companies in these new markets.
Can you explain?

Please see WP:REF and WP:EL, that explain what references are and look like and the guidelines on external links. Short form: a reference should have the specific point you make, not simply be a place where someone else can look. And, as the message in the edit history put it, "a link to a consulting firm's web-site is not a reference." Both because it does not fit the ref criteria, and because it looks like advertising - either would be valid reasons to bin it.
You may also want to take a look at WP:Notability. I did not get into the editing, but questioned when I saw it how notable this particular way of slicing and dicing emerging markets is. I mean, I could group emerging markets according to any criteria at all (percentage of protein in diet), but is it meaningful, significant or (most importantly) a widely accepted way of distinguishing between emerging markets?
As a suggestion: some of the more detailed stuff might fit better further down in the article. Take a look at WP:MOS, the wikipedia manual of style. And welcome aboard.--Gregalton 15:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Gregalton and SiobhanHansa,
In response to your comments, I'd like to say that while no single definition for emerging markets exists yet, based on the work by analysts at Vital Wave Consulting with mulitnational companies such as Microsoft, AOL and Intel, how they define emerging markets is quickly becoming the defacto standard. Just as you have various definitions from other researchers, Vital Wave Consulting is a leader in its field and a company that should be taken seriously.
Thoughts?
Erin Efreeley 19:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I ended up taking the information down after learning that the definition I provided is an appropriate classification for ICT MNCs looking for business expansion in EMs, but it's not appropriate for the broader emerging-market universe.
Sorry for all the back and forth!

Hello,
My name is Jonathan and I am part of the founding team of Emerginvest - a Boston-based startup that provides unbiased data, and information on the world's emerging markets (think of a Yahoo Finance for emerging and frontier markets). I was writing because I think it might be a good resource to put in the external links section. Again, we don't offer investment advice or anything along those lines - simply data that people can use to keep track of these economies.
Thanks for your time. Irishness1 (talk) 20:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
There is a strange edit war going on over the inclusion of Israel in the MSCI list of emerging markets. Israel is clearly there in the cited list. Would those who want to delete Israel please explain why it should not be included?VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 07:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

can someone take the "s" out of the page name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.104.118.88 (talk) 22:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
In the article it reads: "Emphasizing the fluid nature of the category, political scientist Ian Bremmer defines an emerging market as 'a country where politics matters at least as much as economics to the markets'."
Is this supposed to be a definition? What is the precise meaning of "to matter" and of "politics" in this statement? And, is the fact that politics "matter" just as much as "economics" (?) any different from countries that are not the "emerging" status?
We ought to either clarify or delete. 80.108.15.242 (talk) 11:10, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
The header of the article lists China and India, but the map state they are Newly Industrialized Countries. I will change this to reflect the NIC group.Gabriel arisi (talk) 23:23, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Trying to get a consensus on taking the stub article 'Financial sector development' and merging it into this article. It's an orphan, and isn't a lot of content to bring over. Post replies here or on my talk page. --Alang814 (talk) 01:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
In the map shown here, why did Palawan was highlighted as a part of another entity, while it is a part of the Philippines?--180.193.3.8 (talk) 12:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
The image shown here is completely ridiculous. How it came to the mind of the authors to classify Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria etc a 'developing countries'? Is there any source that claims these European Union members are 'developing'? Who came to a conclusion that being an 'emerging market' means being 'developing country'?--MathFacts (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
There is a lot of overlap and some contradiction between this article and the Newly industrialized country article. I wonder if a merge or co-ordinated editing might help to create better consistency. Roger (talk) 19:55, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
I feel like the CIVETs don't belong in the main table of comparison. Strictly speaking they're a list of a subset of especially promising emerging markets, as defined by the Economist, with a focus on young populations. I've expanded the BBVA list to include all their emerging markets, however we already have the full Economist list separately. Since it will be a pain to go through and remove the entire CIVET column though, I'm going to post my objections here for now, and clear the CIVET column at some indefinite point in the future. I'm playing around with maps right now for this and other articles and the way I do things, hopefully if anybody has any compelling reasons to keep them that I'm missing (again, subset of a larger list; as with BBVA) this will give plenty of time for you to chime in. —Quintucket (talk) 19:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
There are a number of broken links under the references section.
On its own, Emerging Markets Index does not seem all that notable. It could be turned into a single table that includes both countries and cities, whether or not it is merged. But doing that would also make it fit pretty well in the existing section in Emerging markets. -- Beland (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
From the article: "The 10 Big Emerging Markets (BEM) economies are (alphabetically ordered): Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, South Africa and Turkey.[19]"
But these are only nine countries ... And I believe the cited page doesn't work.141.22.66.232 (talk) 09:43, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Done The 10th one was South Korea, and I change the citation, because it linked to a main website, not the actual article. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Dr. Park has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The article is a bit narrowly focused on the terminology and some indexes. This may include typical features that define emerging market economies. The table of various sources for emerging markets index is very useful, but what follows the table should cover major sources first, rather than going to new subcategories such as BBVA's EAGLE, 3G, etc. These have not gained much traction, and can be listed separately as part of See also.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
Dr. Park has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

Emerging Market Global Players is only a project on FDI from leading institutions in emerging markets to gather original data from company surveys and additional research and to produce annual reports based on their findings. Those EMGP reports identify the top multinationals from each of a number of emerging markets, provide detailed information on the key features of the firms’ activities abroad, and discuss other issues, including the underlying policy context influencing outward investment from those emerging markets and the impact of the MNEs on sustainable development. So, the participate countries in the project are not reflect the emerging markets in all over the world due to only one institution of the countries involve in the project and the reports are different each other with each different titles. IMHO, the column of Columbia University EMGP on Section Commonly Listed should be deleted.Gsarwa (talk) 04:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Emerging markets → Emerging market – The article should use singular title per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals). The current lead section also uses the singular form ("An emerging market is a country that has some characteristics of a developed market..."). Neo-Jay (talk) 14:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
The first sentence in the second paragraph in the Terminology section needs to be fixed: Who is Sherzodbek Safarov?
Old: "Originally coined in 1981 by then World Bank economist Antoine Van Agtmael,[7][8] the term is sometimes loosely used as a replacement for emerging economies, but really signifies a business phenomenon that is not fully described by or constrained Sherzodbek Safarov;"

I propose merging Frontier markets into Emerging market. I think the content in Frontier markets can easily be explained in the context of Emerging market, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in the latter article. The existence of multiple articles on what is basically a slight variation on the same concept leads to worse article quality and wastes the efforts of editors.
