In its second year, the PricewaterhouseCoopers EM20 Risk & Reward Index (the PwC EM20 Index), explores the attractiveness of various emerging markets as investment destinations both from risk and reward angle.
Produced by the PwC Emerging Markets Group in conjunction with our Macroeconomics Team, this year's PwC EM20 Index shows that the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) continue to offer interesting opportunities for investment – all four appear in both the Manufacturing and Services Indices. However, the results of our modelling also indicate a range of other locations that can offer attractive alternatives. This year's highlights include the emergence of South East Europe as an attractive destination for both manufacturing and services businesses
