Stock markets and the significance of economic growth worldwide

Stocks markets across the world have seen a massive growth. The recession that we are facing today has played spoilsport and has hindered growth, and this applies to the stock market sector as well. Emerging countries too are seeing a dramatic growth in the stock market investments.

Better profits are the main reason for the investors to look into stock markets as a viable option. In developing countries risks are low, and returns are generally higher. Bank research and statistics also prove that the stock markets in developing countries give better returns so it makes sense to diversify your investments not only across various sectors with the country but also diversify your portfolio across various developing nations.
   
Developing countries are showing structural reforms, economic and legislative changes, governments have either eliminated or liberalized capital restrictions and this has been a boon to the foreign investor. The improved flow of all important financial information and the strengthened investor laws and regulations have only beckoned the foreign investors to developing countries. Foreign investors see this as a great opportunity to rake in some money and carry if home happily.

Despite the boom in the stock markets foreign investors have to be careful as the recession has hit the world economy really hard and the international market will need some time to settle down. The economic turbulence and variations in national growth are some factors that will see a negative return even in developing countries.

The Asian market is seen to be quite attractive option for foreign investors. Investors want profits and the Latin American and Asian countries are fast emerging as gold mines as fast as stock markets are concerned. But do not forget that emerging countries need outside capital for growth and survival and with the proper inflow of equity and capital funds, emerging countries will stand to gain. But emerging countries should take care to note that liabilities grow fast and they should take proper measures to take maximum advantage of foreign funds.

Banks as well as the stock market go hand in hand to provide a stable economy. An encouraging stock market will do wonders for a developing nation. It will bring in capital and push the growth barometer to new levels. Both the banks as well as the stock market is essential to encourage the accumulation of capital and thus contribute wholesomely to improve productivity in all regions.
