Episode Description
Gavin opens with Wall Street veteran James Awad, Chairman of Plimsoll Mark Capital, a division of Zephyr Management for a look at China, perhaps the most confusing emerging market country. Then he examines another confusing country and talks to Fernando Donayre at Inca Investments in Miami about Mexico. He calls on Montasser Khelifi of Quantum Investment Bank in Dubai about the MCSI decision on Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. These countries are under consideration for upgrade from frontier to emerging market status with a decision expected on Tuesday. Then he checks in with economics professor and United Nations Commission Member Atif Kubursi in Vienna, en route back from Egypt on what it needs to become attractive. He finishes with European Correspondent Mario Marcinek in Bratislava Slovakia and an examination of reports suggesting that the recession is almost over in the developed countries there.
