We reviewed the S&P 500 sector performance chart for 2023 in an earlier post. The following chart shows the emerging markets returns by country from 2009 to 2023 also published by Novel Investor. Last year Hungary was the best performing emerging market followed by Greece and Poland. Who would have thought that Greece, which was in the midst of a sovereign debt crisis a few years ago, would be one the top performing markets in 2023. Mexico also had an excellent return at over 41%.
The worst performing market last year was China.
