From
the CEO OF EMIS

With
most analysts predicting a rise in US interest rates this month, there
has been much discussion on the likely impact on emerging markets. Many
reports have focused on the negative effects of a rate rise on
developing economies: capital outflow, increased debt service costs and
currency depreciation. But a rate hike also signals that the US economy
is in relatively good shape and that should be good news for countries
hoping for export growth, particularly those that have suffered from
China’s slowdown.
As
usual with emerging markets, the picture is mixed. Some countries are
particularly vulnerable to a rise in US rates, notably those with large
borrowing requirements while others will be more resilient due to
stronger macroeconomic foundations.
Here
are a few articles published on EMIS in the last week relating to this
issue. Let me know your
views
on the likely fallout from a US rate rise.
Best
wishes,
Guy Dunn
Chief Executive Officer
