such as
Emerging Markets
The capital markets of developing countries that have liberalized their financial systems to promote capital flows with nonresidents and are broadly accessible to foreign investors.

Exchange rate
The price of one currency in terms of another. Most commonly, exchange rates are expressed as the number of units of domestic currency that will purchase one unit of foreign currency (e.g. units of currency per U.S. dollar). An exchange rate may also be defined as the inverse: the number of units of foreign currency that one unit of domestic currency will purchase.

Sources of MARKET ANALYSIS

Since January 2008 ITC’s market analysis tools Trade Map, Market Access Map, Investment Map and Product Map are now available as a package and are free to users in developing countries for 2008 calendar year and possibly beyond. This has been made possible thanks to financial support from ITC’s Global Trust Fund and the World Bank.

The package of tools, accessible at www.intracen.org/mat, makes it easier for you to identify export markets by bringing together in one place critical information about trade flows, market access barriers, investment and company information.
