Roubini Bullish on South Korea, Malaysia, Phillipines, HK, Singapore

There are plenty of emerging market economies that have good market fundamentals and international policies.

In Asia, we particularly like South Korea, but even countries like Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong or Singapore are solid.

In Europe, countries like Greece that are covered by the recovery in the eurozone could be attractive, or countries like Poland and the Czech Republic can be good economic opportunities as well.

Nouriel Roubini on South Korea rate hikes

"Given revival of capital inflows in June, rising inflationary pressures and risks from negative real interest rates, South Korea will hike rates by another 50 basis points in the third quarter,"
"This will be followed by a 25 basis point hike in the fourth quarter, unless domestic and global growth slow more than expected or there's a repeat of a May-like sell-off. Rates will go up by at least 75 basis points in 2011,"
