<p>I was reading The Economist and came across this sentence: And the enthusiasm for the BRIC story means that emerging markets now stand at a premium rating to developed markets, a situation that has led to sharp setbacks in the past. ([Market.view</a> | Another BRIC in the wall | Economist.com](<a href=“http://www.economist.com/daily/columns/marketview/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11075147]Market.view”>Another BRIC in the wall))</p>
<p>Can somebody please explain what’s a “premium rating”? Google ain’t helpin’!</p>
