Here are the estimated 2008 P/E and PEG ratios for countries with investable funds available to US investors, based on aggregate analyst 2008 estimated earnings and earnings growth as of last week.
The proxy funds may not track the exact same indices as the country indices used for the P/E and PEG ratios, but we presume they are similar. It is likely that a comparison with fund “fact sheets” will produce variances, mostly due to different “as of” dates for the data.
These ratios change daily as prices change, and also as often as aggregate estimates of earnings and earnings growth change, which could be daily.

thanks for the research! 1.9 for germany seems to be a typing error, it should be around 12 I guess.
Where did you get the data from?
cheers

Good catch!. Sorry about that.
Germany has an estimated 2008 P/E of 10.9, not 1.9.
We have corrected the data on our site and have requested an image substitution at Seeking Alpha which will likely be done soon.
Corrected data: www.qvmgroup.com/inves...
The P/E correction dramatically changed the calculated PEG to over 20.
Germany is in an earnings growth slump in 2008 that is estimated to be only about 1/2% which with a 10+ P/E gives a PEG over 20..
We added Thailand since we were modifying the table anyway to fix the typing error you found.
Note that the PEGs in this articles are based on 2008 earnings and 2008 earnings growth. For many countries 2008 earnings and earnings growth is shaping up to be quite different than 2007 or projections for subsequent years.
The data comes from Thomson One Analytics.
Thanks again for a sharp eye.

Thanks.
The data is only available by subscription to various services which are quite expensive, in the thousands.
Sorry, can you check again PEG for Thailand and Russia. The numbers are to good to be true in my opinion. Thailand earnings growth must be 77% and Russian earnings growth must be 45% to give the numbers you put.
Those are the numbers as reported by Thompson One Analytics. They simply aggregate the data from the reporting investment analysis houses. Those are not my estimates. They are my report to you of published numbers.
Thanks for sharing the info!
First, point is that the data is now completely out of date due to intervening circumstances, and is of little use at this time.
Second, I have asked the data vendor, Thomson Analytics, a similar question. The simple answer is nobody knows, because they simply aggregate published numbers from the many investment research houses they survey.
There is no defined standard for earnings projections. The methods may vary by source. Bad as it is, it's the best one can get in terms of broad survey data.
