3.  CIVETS (COLOMBIA, INDONESIA, VIETNAM,
EGYPT, TURKEY AND SOUTH AFRICA) :
A contraction given to the countries Colombia, Indonesia,
Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa, which are
predicted to be among the next emerging markets to
quickly rise in economic prominence over the coming
decades. The contraction plays off the term BRIC (Brazil,
Russia, India, and China) which indicates the fastest growing
emerging economies over the last decade.

4.  Ten years after Brazil, Russia, India and China were
dubbed the BRICs, any early mover advantage for
investing in those economies has long gone.
 These nations all have large young populations
with average age of 27. This, or so the theory goes, means
these countries will benefit from fast-rising domestic
consumption. They also are all fast-growing, relatively
diverse economies, meaning they shouldn't be as
heavily dependent on external demand as the BRICs.

5. The positive aspects of the CIVETS group of countries
Includes :
Relative political stability especially when compared to
previous (generations).
 young populations that focused on education and
overall growing economic trends.
