Five Countries Offer Investors Alternatives To BRIC Countries As FDI Destinations

August 6, 2013: 12:00 AM EST

Chile, Peru, Poland, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan are the top 5 emerging markets, which offer feasible and in some aspects better alternatives to Brazil, Russia, India, and China. These BRIC countries together accounted for 39.2 percent of total foreign direct investment inflows to emerging markets in 2012. Chile is the highest ranking Latin American country, at 37^th place on the Doing Business 2013 index. It also ranks high in investor protection and payment of taxes. Peru’s economic reforms, including tax regulations, have made it easier to invest in the country than in Brazil. With its highly educated workforce and considerably less corruption, Poland is a much better FDI destination than Russia. Malaysia has implemented reforms to reduce red tape as part of its efforts to become a developed economy by 2020, making the country a better place for investments than China. Kazakhstan, which is fast becoming a key frontier market, has improved its index ranking to 28^th place.
