Overview Emerging Capital Markets 11 th ASEA Conference 2007

Global Landscape Globalization is happening, Faster than ever……….. like any other industry (This has become, more or less, a Natural Phenomenon….) This can be termed as “Expansion from outer shell, and consolidation from within the shell. US & Euro Zone are key players, 80% of world’s capital flows in 2005 were among the US, Britain & Euro Zone.

Regionalization Regionalization is shaping up, to some extent… (APAC, SAGE, ME, Africa) Asian markets have been fragmented, and remained isolated from one another. Therefore these have been largely outside the global financial loop. Consolidation will start happening, after regional cross- trade and Demutualization activities. Signs have started showing up, that people and exchanges have started talking to each other, in order to attract cross-flow of capital.
