Emerging Market Bonds: Outlook
  • Central banks in Emerging Markets (EM) have been implementing more aggressive tightening of monetary policies
  • Fiscal positions in most EM are stronger than in many developed countries and euro zone nations
  • As a result of the higher interest rates and currency appreciation in EM countries, we have seen strong inflows into EM debt
  • The better credit fundamentals across EM debt (compared with euro zone sovereign debt) will continue to underpin the positive fundamentals
  • EM bonds can provide equity-like returns with lower risks
