BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) have become in the recent years the global economic growth leaders. As the access to adequate financial means is often limited in their native financial systems, companies from BRIC countries use many different financing sources, among them depositary receipts traded on foreign equity markets, mainly in the United States and United Kingdom. Issuers from BRIC countries and other emerging markets dominate today on the global depositary receipts markets, accounting for the majority of trading value, trading volume and capital-raising transactions.
