HSBC Emerging Markets Index Q4 2011
Emerging market growth remained lacklustre in Q4 as an improved rate of expansion in service activity only marginally outweighed a further decline in output from manufacturers, the HSBC Emerging Markets Index (EMI) shows.
The EMI edged slightly higher to 52.2, from 52.0 in Q3, reflecting a subdued rate of economic expansion as world trade declined during 2011, following its peak earlier in the year. The risk of further economic contagion from the US, the UK and even the emerging nations themselves weighed heavily on sentiment.
