Emerging markets are no longer an afterthought in international finance—they now account for more than half of global GDP and create the majority of global economic growth. But while the opportunity in these markets is vast, so too are the challenges from a valuation perspective. Or in other words, how to best quantify emerging market opportunities. Political, economic, currency and regulatory risks, and less developed financial markets all add additional layers of complexity that robust valuation models need to capture. “Valuation in Emerging Markets: Challenges, Opportunities, and Strategies” provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the nuances of valuation in these economies. It bridges theory and practice, covering key topics such as forecasting, the cost of capital, liquidity constraints, adjustments, valuation multiples, M&A dynamics, and startup valuation—each examined through the lens of emerging market realities. Whether you’re valuing a startup, private business, or public company, this book provides the tools and techniques required to address the unique challenges of emerging markets. In short, this book demystifies emerging market valuation, providing a practical and essential guide for anyone operating or interested in these high growth but complex environments.
