Summary

The BMI Ratings can be used to rank emerging markets in terms of political risk, the economy and the quality of the business environment.

There are four ratings: a composite rating, a political rating, an economy rating and a business environment rating. These ratings are reviewed every month and the results posted on BMI's online service Emerging Markets Online (www.businessmonitor.com). The political and economy ratings have short- and long-term components. The long-term ratings are designed to reflect more structural considerations and will not change greatly in the short term. The short-term ratings will change frequently in response to more transient influences. All ratings are expressed as a number between one and 100. A high rating is an indicator of lower risk.
