OECD: Emerging Markets "Resilient" Despite Global Turmoil

PRAGUE -(Dow Jones)- Emerging markets are proving resilient amid the ongoing global financial market turmoil and remain part of the engine of global economic growth, the deputy secretary general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said Tuesday.

"Emerging markets...and (their economies) remain resilient," despite global spikes in inflation in the last year, Pier Carlo Padoan said.

Padoan said the inflationary pressures these markets are now experiencing are partly of their own making, due to sharp increases in local demand for goods and services that have driven up prices.

Emerging markets, including central Europe's post-communist economies, continue to grow despite economic slowdowns in core markets and the credit crunch in the U.S. and western Europe, he said.

Emerging bond markets have shown resilience, Padoan added.
