Emerging Markets
Moving Into a New Era of Growth and Stability
The Emerging Markets Conference combines a strategic overview of the emerging capital markets, explores new trends, analyses the risks, demystifies the unknowns, illuminates new prospects and seeks to capitalise on new challenges and increasing opportunities.
Emerging markets are booming. Increased monetary stability and the trend towards investment-grade ratings have rendered emerging markets less vulnerable to global contagion and event risk. At the same time, low yields in major markets have pushed traders and investors to be more creative in seeking out new avenues of growth and increased return, while local borrowers have turned to their increasingly sophisticated domestic markets to meet their capital requirements.
The way in which the emerging markets asset class is perceived and defined has undergone dramatic change. Emerging market borrowers in international capital markets are able to sell securities across the entire capital structure, while the globalisation of local markets has led to an explosion of interest in domestic currency exposure, structured products, and synthetic solutions. At the same time, regulatory and corporate governance issues have also moved to the fore.
As emerging markets come with their own particular share of risk and uncertainty, IFR’s Emerging Markets Conference is perfectly timed to guide you through the risks and rewards of this rich and varied asset class.
