Recommendation

Investors had long considered emerging markets a single asset class, but no longer. Developing economies exhibit varying degrees of maturity, and the financing needs of governments and local companies increasingly find expression in a wider range of public market issuance. But currency volatility and liquidity problems stymie many asset managers. getAbstract recommends this recap of an Economist Intelligence Unit webinar for its succinct analysis on investment trends in emerging economies.

Take-Aways

  • The impact of shifting monetary policies in the United States and Europe will affect liquidity globally, but emerging markets (EMs) in particular.
  • Greater economic differentiation now characterizes EMs. Developing economies have matured to varying degrees, and savvy investors today no longer treat these markets as a single asset category.
  • More local bond issuance and more investors have lifted emerging markets. In 2012, outstanding EM local currency bonds grew by more than 10% to $6.8 trillion.
