Introduction
Emerging Markets
Further outperforming?
Equity market performance in the Emerging Markets EM equity performance of regions
since the beginning of the year has been substan- 120
tially better than in the established markets. At the
same time, the currencies in the markets we cover
100
have been able to strengthen versus the US dollar,
and exceptionally strong gains have also been regis-
tered on the local bond markets and on Eurobonds. 80
On the one hand, the Emerging Markets are profiting
from the general relief as market participants begin 60
to grasp that the economic system has survived this
crisis and that the likelihood of a deep, long depres- 40
sion has declined. On the other hand, the economic Jan-08 Apr-08 Jul-08 Oct-08 Jan-09 Apr-09
data from the Emerging Markets has also been sur-

backdrop, more portfolio investment is flowing into
the EM financial markets again, and commodity EM-Bondfunds holdings
prices have also bounced back. 30,000

The main risk continues to be the necessary process
of deleveraging in the financial sector. As the IMF 20,000
notes in its April issue of the Global Financial Stabil-
15,000
ity Report, Asia requires about 9% of GDP for exter-
nal financing in 2009, and the figure is around 8% 10,000
for Latin America. While the banks in both regions

are not critically affected by write-downs on asset
backed securities and generally exhibit relatively low 0
levels of leverage, there have been tangible impacts Mar-04 Mar-05 Mar-06 Mar-07 Mar-08 Mar-09

Following the outbreak of swine flu, the Mexican 80%
peso came under pressure for a short time. After it
became clear that the illness was apparently easily 60%
treatable, the currency stabilised again quickly. Use
of the IMF’s “flexible line of credit” and positive FX 40%

that the Mexican peso will appreciate against USD. 0%

structure projects and programmes to fight poverty.

some speculation that South Africa could also use the
