Mint, Bric
I learned a new term today -- MINT!
We have been doing strategy around BRIC for so long. BRIC stands for Brazil, Russia, India and China. These were the countries that were to drive the growth in the market. I have been to all 4 of these countries and saw the growth engines turning but never the full potential that was projected.
But now there is a new term -- MINT -- Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey. Have you heard of this one? Sure I have been to Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey and loved the. Turkey is very exciting. The tea is very good and the business growing.
But the stability is a question. Turkey and Nigeria have politics that are in turmoil. Indonensia is facing troubles too with investors. So I'd love to hear your thoughts on MINT.
