This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the institutional and macroeconomic determinants of stock market development using a panel data of 42 emerging economies for the period 1990 to 2004. The paper finds that macroeconomic factors such as income level, gross domestic investment, banking sector development, private capital flows, and stock market liquidity are important determinants of stock market development in emerging market countries. The results also show that political risk, law and order, and bureaucratic quality are important determinants of stock market development because they enhance the viability of external finance. This result suggests that the resolution of political risk can be an important factor in the development of emerging stock markets. The analysis also shows the factors identified above as determining stock market development in emerging economies can also explain the development of the stock market in South Africa.

This book was released on 2006-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the early 1990s, economists and policy makers had high expectations about the prospects for domestic capital market development in emerging economies, particularly in Latin America. Unfortunately, they are now faced with disheartening results. Stock and bond markets remain illiquid and segmented. Debt is concentrated at the short end of the maturity spectrum and denominated in foreign currency, exposing countries to maturity and currency risk. Capital markets in Latin America look particularly underdeveloped when considering the many efforts undertaken to improve the macroeconomic environment and to reform the institutions believed to foster capital market development. The disappointing performance has made conventional policy recommendations questionable, at best. 'Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization' analyzes where we stand and where we are heading on capital market development. First, it takes stock of the state and evolution of Latin American capital markets and related reforms over time and relative to other countries. Second, it analyzes the factors related to the development of capital markets, with particular interest on measuring the impact of reforms. And third, in light of this analysis, it discusses the prospects for capital market development in Latin America and emerging economies and the implications for the reform agenda.
Download or read book Capital Markets Development in Emerging Economies written by Samuel Onyuma and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the many efforts undertaken to foster financial development, capital markets in many developing economies remain underdeveloped. These reforms have not catapult the development of these markets to global standards. New stock exchanges are being created every year in Africa, but these markets remain shallow in listing and liquidity, with high volatility. Thus policymakers have no clear guidance on how to promote securities market development. Scholars are also widely divided on measures of market development, as well as, the factors which influence the level of market development. These issues are even more aggravated given the poor understanding of securities markets in developing countries. This book examines the institutional, market microstructural and macroeconomic determinants of securities market development in Kenya. Finance scholars interested in studying securities market development will find it a useful learning and research reference material. Capital markets regulators and management interested in developing their markets will also find the book important in designing reform prescriptions targeted at promoting market development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A phenomenal growth of emerging markets has not only attracted an enormous interest from international instinational and individual investors, but it has also proved that these markets cannot be treated in the same way as developed markets. This research is intended to identify the main determinants of the stock market performance in emerging economies of Latin America and Asia Pacific. The study has been motivated by the increasing importance of these equity markets on the international financial arena. The capital markets of emerging economies have not only become an important asset class for international investors, but also they have become a new and increasingly important source of foreign capital for these countries. This research examines a set of macroeconomic variables, including inflation, foreign exchange rates, market integration, the Institutional Investor's country ratings, the U.S interest rates and financial risk premiums, and their role in explaining the fluctuations in the total returns on the stock markets in six Latin American and four Asia Pacific countries. The results show that the Institutional Investor's country ratings and financial risk premium are the best determinants of the stock market performance in Latin American and Asian Pacific countries. The attempt to separate the financial and country risks has also been undertaken with the successful results in four out of ten countries. The further findings show that financial risk premiums are an important risk factor, which explains the stock market returns in seven out of ten countries and, moreover, financial risk premiums appear to be an aggregate risk factor, which can successfiilly replace five macroeconomic variables, and above that they contain incremental information, which successfully explain the variance in the stock market retums. The findings may have significant implications for international investors and national policymakers in the emerging markets. The findings highlight the significance of the country default risk in explaining the stock market performance in the Latin American and Asia Pacific economies.

It then discusses the reasons for the markets’ growth and assesses the extent to which domestic policies, as well as external factors, have played a role.

This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the economic importance of stock markets in Africa. It discusses policy options for promoting the development of the stock market in Africa. The results of the paper show that the stock markets have contributed to the financing of the growth of large corporations in certain African countries. An econometric investigation of the impact of stock markets on growth in selected African countries, however, finds inconclusive evidence even though stock market value traded seem to be positively and significantly associated with growth. African stock exchanges now face the challenge of integration and need better technical and institutional development to address the problem of low liquidity. Preconditions for successful regional approaches include the harmonization of legislations such as bankruptcy and accounting laws and a liberalized trade regime. Robust electronic trading systems and central depository systems will be important. Further domestic financial liberalization such as steps to improve the legal and accounting framework, private sector credit evaluation capabilities, and public sector regulatory oversight would also be beneficial.
