Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / Artikel über Anlagechancen in den Schwellenländern
English term or phrase: for all intense purposes
Es geht um die Schwellenländer, die der Autor (Portfoliomanager) in vier Kategorien unterteilt. Hier geht es um die zweite Kategorie:

The next are export-oriented countries, particularly in North Asia (South Korea, Taiwan). These are, ***for all intense purposes***, developed economies supplying the segments of the technology chain but, due to idiosyncratic reasons, have ended up being classified as emerging.

Ohne den eingesternten Teil, den ich nicht verstehe, so übersetzt:
Diese Länder sind eigentlich Industrieländer, die Zulieferer in der Technologiekette sind, jedoch aus idiosynkratischen Gründen weiterhin als Schwellenland klassifiziert werden.

agree  Steffen Walter: Ja, i. S. v. praktisch, faktisch, de facto, denn eigentlich ist hier die Wendung "for all intents and purposes" gemeint (wie in deinem Link, den ich vorhin nicht angeklickt hatte - sorry!).

agree  Thomas Pfann: Sehr häufiger Fehler im Englischen (ähnlich wie „excetera“ oder „would of been“). Hier wäre ich für sowas wie „im Grunde“ oder „eigentlich“.
