Economies in
Emerging Markets generally are heavily
dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative
currency values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade.
This can cause global capital flows to suddenly and significantly reverse, leading to capital flow and
currency issues for countries, most notably
emerging market economies that are
dependent on foreign investment.
