In finance and economics, a developed market (also advanced economy) is a country or jurisdiction that possesses a highly advanced economy, sophisticated financial market infrastructure, and mature capital markets. The term is primarily used by international financial institutions, index providers, and investment professionals to categorize national economies for the purposes of investing, economic analysis, and policy formulation. It is contrasted with emerging markets and frontier markets, which are at earlier stages of economic and financial development.
