Europe's largest bank, HSBC, launched a new Emerging Market Index (EMI) yesterday, a move that will support Mexico investment.

The index follows the performance of Mexico and 12 other emerging markets that are on the path to fast becoming fully developed economies.

HSBC stressed the growing global importance of emerging markets such as Mexico. They said the launch of the index underscores "the growing economic influence of emerging nations" and that they are "leading the global economic recovery".

The creation of the new index will help international investors and fund managers gauge the performance of emerging markets more accurately and reliably.

The increased transparency of the new, politically independent yardstick will boost investor confidence and support investment in countries such as Mexico.

Growing optimism about the global economy has led many to realize that now is the time to invest in emerging markets and foreigners have been rushing to invest in Mexico.

The Mexico investment real estate market is already showing strong signs of growth and the wise investor knows that now is the time to buy, before the upturn really start to take off.
