Dear all, In celebration of the International Journal of Emerging Markets' (IJoEM) growth in reach and quality, we would like to present this virtual issue, now available to access for free until the 29 February. IJoEM continues to reach new audiences. In 2019 IJoEM achieved its highest downloads figure yet, totalling 75,832 over the course of the year: a 22% increase from 3 years previously. IJoEM also received its first Impact Factor (2.067), and was upgraded to a B in the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List. These achievements would not be possible without the efforts of our authors and editorial team members, who we thank for their dedication.
