-China has been a market to watch for the past several years, and it just continues to grow and boom. With many huge cities and manufacturing centers, China is becoming one of the world’s biggest trade hubs.
-South Korea is another Asian market that is poised for significant growth in the near future. Seoul is one of the biggest cultural hubs in Asia, and attracts business and investors from all over the world.
-Asia isn’t the only continent that’s experiencing growth; Latin America has some of the world’s biggest emerging markets as well. Peru, for example, has had a 27 percent GDP growth over the last four years. The Peruvian government is also very dedicated to fostering economic growth in the region.
-The Czech Republic is a big emerging market in Europe, as this region moves away from former Soviet rule and comes into its own. Investors are attracted to the range of opportunities here and can’t wait to see what comes next.
