Study shows: Competitiveness of emerging markets is on the rise

The Leibnitz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) has prepared the study “Länderindex Familienunternehmen – Emerging Markets” for the Family Business Foundation. This shows that, despite political problems, countries such as Turkey, Russia and China have become more attractive. In contrast, South Africa and Brazil have fallen sharply.

Factors such as the political and economic situation, taxes, labour and energy costs and also regulations are decisive indicators in the choice of a location for companies. Emerging markets have also recognised this aspect. Consequently, their attractiveness is increasing. Family businesses in particular are finding lucrative offers in these areas.
