There is at least one central bank policymaker optimistic on emerging markets. Risk from emerging markets and pessimism over them has been at the heart of central bank communication naturally a fresh air of optimism is a nice change.
- Bank of England (BOE) MPC member Kristin Forbes said that pessimism over emerging markets is overdone and as a matter fact they can provide much needed sunshine to global markets.
- According to Ms. Forbes these markets hold opportunity and UK shouldn't hesitate to do business with the region.
Similar comments can be traced back by Mr. Osborne, financial head of UK who remains optimist on China's potential. UK aspires to become largest off shore Renminbi trading center as China slowly opens up its economy to world and closes into free floating Yuan.
According to Ms. Forbes there are substantial benefits and opportunities for businesses to expand to emerging markets, in spite of some of them suffering lesser growth this year or some could be under crisis. She feels that negativity regarding emerging markets will prove to be temporary.
She also proved to be an optimist over rate hike as she feels rate hike to be the next move and it to come sooner rather than later.
