加中金融 新兴市场 EM Markets
Regional headwinds
Escalating geopolitics are creating challenges from every direction. The reality of war has hit Europe, with the Russian invasion
of Ukraine perhaps the biggest shift in the region’s geopolitical landscape since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. At the time
of writing, it is driving huge volatility across global markets.
Elsewhere in the CEEMEA region, Turkey’s unorthodox policy approach is bringing the country to the brink of a crisis, while a
number of countries, including South Africa, face growth challenges.
In Latin America, we have seen several leftist leaders coming to power, notably in Peru and Chile. This year’s election calendar
looks equally precarious, with Colombia and Brazil’s presidential elections potentially bringing a stronger leftist tilt to the
region, which could unsettle markets.
Across Asia, zero-Covid policies continue to cause supply chain disruptions, while in China, the government’s policy solution
for the real estate sector remains unclear. Most bonds in the sector are trading at distressed levels.
Among the high yield markets, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia could potentially face debt reprofiling in 2022.
Do these headwinds mean investors should steer away from EM for the next year?
Absolutely not. This is precisely the time to actively invest in EM. Here is why and how:
