| Summary: | Financial crises have a way of bringing
corporate governance to the foreground. For interested
parties wanting to know more, there is an impressive body of
research that looks at companies and the connection between
strong governance and better performance. However, the
existing literature only goes so far. It does not look at
whether the level and quality of firm-level corporate
governance plays a role as large-scale investors consider
investment decisions in emerging markets. This study of
emerging market investors sheds light on this issue and
reveals that emerging market investors care deeply about
corporate governance. The findings have significant
implications, not only for the emerging markets business and
finance community, but for policy makers, academics, the
media, as well as for development finance institutions
focused on sustainable economic development in these
countries. For more publications on IFC Sustainability
