So if emerging markets are on your radar in 2010, what should you watch for? David Spegel, head of global emerging market research with ING says, "The best performers so far this year have mostly been among the dogs of 2009." He says that includes Venezuela, up 12.2%, Belize, up 17.9%, and Jamaica, up 31%. "These have benefited from the perception that default risks are in decline as access to credit seems less problematic. However, for Jamaica, heavy repayment risks remain, so we could see a reversal of fortunes there," Spegel warns.

Re: jamaica hot

Since March 8, customers of Jamaica Post have been paying twice the amount it normally costs to send mail.

This has been the first increase since 2004.

The new rate to send a package inland for the first 230 grams is $60, up from $30; more than 230 to 450 grams cost $120, up from $60, and more than 450 grams to two kilograms is now $200, up from $100.

The registration fee for each item is now $120, up from $60.

The cost to send items weighing 15 grams or fractional thereof to The Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Guyana, Canada, the United States (US), Central and South America now stands at $120, up from $60. The cost to send the same weighted item to the United Kingdom and Europe except Cyprus is $140, up from $70.

It costs $180 up from $90 to send the same weighted item to the Far East, Australia, Africa, New Zealand, Asia and Cyprus is $180, up from $90.

The rates on private letter boxes, however, have not been changed and remain at $2,000 per annum, with a deposit of $1,000.

The cost of mailing in the US, Canada and in the United Kingdom seems more appealing.

Never, ever thought I would hear Jamaica linked with the term <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;emerging markets&quot;</span>.

Wonderful if true!
