LONDON — Turkey is most suited to join the so-called BRIC club of emerging markets, comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, Royal Bank of Scotland Group said Friday, citing an "interactive poll" on emerging markets held at a meeting in London.
Thirty-five percent of about 100 participants working in equity, foreign exchange and credit markets voted Turkey the top candidate to join, followed by Indonesia with 23 percent and Mexico with 16 percent, the bank said.
South Korea scored 12 percent and South Africa 11 percent, the bank added. The poll was based on factors including a country's geopolitical importance and credit fundamentals.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
