Historically, multilateral agencies/institutions segmented global markets into either developed or emerging markets. Recently, a distinction has been made between emerging and frontier markets.
In your opinion, which markets segments are more attractive than others and why?
Difficult to say - it depends on company objectives and entry mode: if you look for FMCG exports, frontier markets can be attractive, nut if you want to hsve a stable long- term FDI, you'd probably look for a developoed country
Depends on the interests of the organization and the nature of the goods or service provided by them.. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/afda/15c59242bc5285f4bc9d63287e9d592c1801.pdf
Thank you for the response Mirna Leko-Šimić
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that developed markets are good for a defensive play, but frontier and emerging markets are good for growth?
Thank you for your response Jaydip Datta
To help me understand your response, you are saying that electronics and FMCG are attractive GICS industry segments. Are they attractive more generally across the globe, in developed markets, emerging markets or frontier markets? Why
Jaydip Datta Mirna Leko-Šimić Mahmoud AlghizzawiDo you know whether the country where you live and work, whether it is classified as a developed, emerging or frontier market and do you know why?
Croatia is an emerging economy, since it underwent a teansiton from planned to market economy during last decade od 20th century.
Thank you for your participation Mirna Leko-Šimić
Croatia is classified as a frontier market and not an emerging market. This is a level below emerging markets. It is in the company of 27 other markets/countries.

Dear Kheepe Moremi I am from Jordan. The Jordanian market is classified as an emerging market, according to the market classification index (Agility Logistics). the classification of Jordan market to emerging markets for several factors that are measured (security, services, laws, legislation, wealth distribution, business environment).

Thank you for your contribution. To make sure I understand, Jordan is ranked as an emerging market in the Agility Logistics Emerging Market Index. This sounds like a study conducted amongst logistics and supply chain executives. Is this correct?
On the equities side though, Jordan seems to be classified as a frontier market in MSCI. I am not sure FTSE Russell and IMF. Is the latter classification consistent with your understanding?
