About this Book

Submerging Markets examines the potential effects of post-2008 financial regulations on the economic growth of the BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The book provides a thorough historical review of capital flows between developed and emerging economies from the 1990s to 2012, using quantitative and analytical tools to measure the impact of global financial regulations on capital formation and GDP growth rates.

The central theme is to evaluate how increased financial oversight, such as Basel III requirements, may influence the future economic trajectories of BRICS nations. By analyzing historical capital flows and growth patterns, Marino develops a framework to understand the potential consequences of regulatory constraints on emerging markets. The book explores critical issues including inflation, deflation, unemployment, and wealth distribution, while emphasizing that short-term GDP growth does not necessarily predict sustained economic development.

Designed for academics, government agencies, and global business organizations, Submerging Markets offers both a condensed overview of historical trends and a research-based foundation for future studies on emerging market resilience. It is particularly valuable for policymakers and economists seeking to understand the complex interplay between international financial regulations and the growth prospects of the BRICS countries.
