Pyramids and Pagodas

Established in 2022, Pyramids and Pagodas documents self-directed research into underreported trends and companies across emerging markets (“EM”), with a particular focus on Asia and the Middle East; notes, observations, and thought processes – purely for record‑keeping and learning. This is a personal, non‑professional journal and nothing here in the journal is investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy/sell any security.

The logo is emblematic of strengthening economic and political ties between the countries that make up the Global South. Due to the increasingly multipolar world environment, EM countries are diversifying their economic partnerships and are increasingly courting investments from the likes of China, India, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Much of the English‑language reporting focuses on Western companies. It’s personally useful to document interesting companies or trends in markets where others might overlook.
