Nigeria.

1. The Federal Republic of Nigeria is the largest African Economy, an emerging market, and the first frontier market in the world.
2. The petroleum sector is vital for the Nigerian economy (20 percent of GDP); Nigeria also has the third largest petroleum reserves in the world.
3. The Nigerian Businessman Alhaji Aliko Dangote is considered the richest African men
4. In 2100, Nigeria will have 1,000 million people (currently, 186 million of Nigerians).

Mexico.

2. Mexico has several key strategic sectors in the global economy (agri-food, automotive, aerospace, TV, or medical devices)
3. Mexico is one of the countries with the highest number of Free Trade Agreements in the world. Its membership to NAFTA, APEC or the Pacific Alliance makes Mexico a major player in the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region

Saudi Arabia.

1. The Saudi Kingdom is the Central State of the Islamic Civilisation and the largest economy of the Arab Countries.
2. Saudi Arabia has 25% of the world's proven petroleum reserve.
3. While Saudi Arabia has a small population (29 million of Saudis), compared to the other markets analysed in the Master, the Saudi religious, political, economic, and financial influence on the Ummah (Islamic Community) is decisive

Moreover, four markets related to BRICS Countries are included:

1. Belarus: The inclusion of Belarus in the Master is justified due to the “State of the Union with Russia”
2. Nepal, Bhutan, and Mauritius has strong economic relations with India. Mauritius is the Indian business gateway to access to the African Markets, the least corrupt country in Africa and the second financial centre of Africa
