Next growth markets; TIMP or MINT?

Next growth markets; TIMP or MINT?
In 2001 the world began talking about the BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - as potential powerhouses of the world economy. The term was coined by economist Jim O'Neill, who has now identified the Mint countries - Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey - as emerging economic giants. Another term in play is TIMP’s As was the case with BRICS, and is with MINT, term TIMP’s came from the investment community. Bob Turner, the chief investment officer at Turner Investment partners in USA coined the term TIMP’s. He was convinced that these nations have favourable demographics, the economies are strengthening and so are the political institutions. These economies have qualities that should keep them and their stock markets expanding rapidly and profitably. Listen to the discussions with Dr Celly on next growth markets. Will it be TIMP or MINT?
