Why Investors in Emerging Markets Remain Invested

from The Emerging Markets Podcast by Tellimer · host Tellimer

Alaa Bushehri, Head of Emerging Market Debt at BNP Paribas Asset Management, joins Tellimer Founder and CEO Duncan Wales to examine why investors in emerging markets remain invested through successive waves of global volatility. Drawing on Alaa's more than two decades with the BNP Paribas Group, the conversation examines how improved asset class fundamentals, stronger central bank credibility and diversified financing channels have kept spreads contained and sustained investor confidence. They explore the divergence between emerging market and developed market monetary cycles, with EM central banks demonstrating an unprecedented willingness to ease independently of the Fed. The episode also covers the structural case for local currency over hard currency, the outlook for de-dollarisation, idiosyncratic opportunities from Brazil and Colombia to Egypt, and how EM policymakers are better positioned to deploy fiscal tools ahead of monetary ones in navigating inflationary pressures.The Emerging Markets Podcast by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tellimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Emerging Markets, Connected.
