A variety of factors, including rising incomes, quick adoption of new technologies and increasingly talented workforces all point to long-term growth and high returns for investors in these markets. This panel will bring together local and global companies and investors to discuss their strategies for doing business in developing markets. How important is regional stability and good governance to both business operators and investors? What roles do multinational corporations play and how are they adapting their business models in these regions? And what structural reforms are needed?
