    31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
    The data here is for the country indices and not for the ETFs. The ETFs are provided as investable proxies for the countries.

    The data is only available by subscription to various services which are quite expensive, in the thousands.     Reply

    Where can I find up-to-date country P/E (ttm) data? Also, is it possible to calculate the P/E ratio for each country's index rather than using a corresponding ETF?

    Thanks.     Reply

    Not only have I though about frontier markets, but I have written several posts about them. The only liquid fund available in the US that makes sense to me for frontier investing is TRAMX (T.R. Price mutual fund) that invests primarily in Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

    Kazakhstan may or may not be interesting, but there is no practical fund investments.

    Clearly, the frontier markets will become the next emerging markets, just as the emerging markets will join the developed markets.

    Case in point, Russia was not a market at all in the 1980's, became a frontier market in the 1990's and is an emerging market in the 2000's.

    While BRIC still offer opportunities, have you thought about the emerging markets (..frontiers) coming after BRIC? What do you you think of Kazakhstan?
    There's an article that lists Mexico, Korea, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Turkey and Vietnam as the next big countries for investors: www.greenfaucet.com/th...
    While one should do their DD, it makes sense to look at other countries besides BRICs     Reply

    Hopefully things will calm down in Turkey; things haven't looked good politically or socially for some time now.If you're think about taking a risk with the fund (which is performing quite well right now) here's an article that gives TUR some support-- www.greenfaucet.com/et... Reply

    It appears that the Columbia/Ecuador dispute along with international media coverage of political issues in Ecuador is causing a pullback of foreign investment in this country.

    Political risk is interesting because it appears to be based on speculation rather than reality. Many large investors are holding back on Ecuador now due to a “perceived” risk. Those of us experiencing the “reality” know that many investors are missing grand opportunities.

    rudi,

    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.

    Hi Richard,

    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

    Most of these other Countries are often a play on resources or cheap labor. I would read Fry's charts right here on seekingalpha before venturing into another market. No matter how simple the economy might be these are still stocks, and Fry's charts could help. Reply

    Let me pose a basic question:
    What countries are stable and POSITIVELY affective by the surging oil and food prices? That is, what countries export BOTH energy and food? Well, Russia doesn't exactly export food, but it makes fertilizers and thus benefits from the ag boom.     Reply
