Abstract
The contribution of emerging market economies to world output increased
significantly in the 2000s. According to an HSBC report (Ward, 2012),
emerging market economies now account for roughly 50 per cent of world
output, up from about 35 per cent in 2000. While the global financial
crisis of 2008 sharply reduced economic growth rates worldwide, the slow-
down in emerging market economies has been substantially less than that
observed in advanced economies, and the emerging market economies
have also been the main drivers of growth in the subsequent recovery (see
Figure 9.1). The most recent Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) ‘Going for Growth’ report projects that the
emerging market economies will continue to be the drivers of global
growth until 2060, with major consequences for the composition of the
world economy.1
