Adding to the stable of the Global Monetary Policy Rate Index, we introduce the Emerging Markets sub-index; a GDP weighted composite interest rate indicator for 21 emerging markets. The Index has been built out to January 2000. In addition to the Emerging Markets sub-index, we will also look at the Emerging Markets (EM) + Developed Markets (DM) composite index; providing a virtually global indicator of monetary policy rates. The use of DM and EM indexes are also of interest in terms of spreads and relative movements, as will be explained.
