Who we are
The Emerging Market Research Group (EMRG) is the project of Jermaine Leonard, an economist with 14 years of experience in international economics, policy analysis, and sovereign risk. His background spans both the official and private sectors — including four years at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of International Affairs and seven years as a Sovereign Ratings Analyst at Fitch Ratings.
EMRG’s mission is to deliver accurate, high quality research and analysis that equips businesses and investors to effectively navigate and mitigate risks in emerging and frontier markets, with an initial focus on Sub-Saharan Africa.
