ISI Emerging Markets

About ISI Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets is a set of online databases that provide news, company and financial data, and other information from "emerging markets" in countries of Asia, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Countries from Europe that are included are: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine. There are also databases for the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and Central Asia and the Caucasus (limited coverage). The databases are intended primarily for use by business analysts and economists, but certain titles within each country may be useful for others as well. For example, searchable full text news sources included contain the articles of entire issues and are not limited in scope to business and economics.

Emerging Markets has a number of strengths. It includes sources of information in both English and vernacular languages. For most countries, there are quotes from financial markets, macroeconomic forecasts, and statistical resources. Economist Intelligence Unit ViewsWire briefings are available. For larger countries (for example, Russia) there is extensive regional coverage. For some countries there are extensive current law databases. There is a search engine for searching the different databases included.
