The document discusses emerging markets and compares the top 10 fastest growing emerging markets in 2005 and 2014. It finds that while the largest emerging markets by GDP have remained mostly the same, the composition of the fastest growing markets has changed significantly. In 2005, the top 3 fastest growing markets were China, Kuwait, and Kazakhstan, but in 2014 they were India, China, and Nigeria. The reasons for countries dropping or rising in growth rankings varied, such as economic diversification helping countries like Bangladesh and Nigeria accelerate, while dependence on oil hurt growth for Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
