Emerging Markets DataBase (EMDB)

Standard & Poor's EMDB is a leading source for information and indices on stock markets in developing countries. EMDB was first launched by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 1981 to collect data on emerging markets for in-house use. Over time, demand from the financial community for this data increased. In 1987, IFC began offering its indices and underlying data as a commercial product. In January 2000 Standard & Poor's acquired EMDB from IFC.

EMDB covers 54 markets and more than 2,200 stocks. Drawing a sample of stocks in each EMDB market, Standard & Poor's calculates indices designed to serve as benchmarks that are consistent across national boundaries. In doing so the indices have helped investors, advisors and academics overcome the difficulties of comparing locally-produced indices with differing methodologies.

Financial Database has subscribed to the daily, weekly and monthly series of the EMDB historical data.
