Impact Of Market Volatility On EBRD Emerging Markets - Most EBRD Countries Relatively Unaffected Despite Renewed Pressure On Emerging Markets

Date 03/02/2014

As of 31 January 2014
- Global emerging markets (EMs) have come under renewed pressure since late January, but many countries in the EBRD region have been comparatively unaffected by market concerns over tapering. Stock markets and exchange rates have seen a trend strengthening since May 2013, and notwithstanding some declines in equities in the past weeks – in line with global trends – most transition countries have remained relatively resilient.
- The main reasons are improved fundamentals; relatively little reliance on volatile portfolio flows and, more recently, positive developments in the eurozone to which many of the EBRD EMs are closely linked.
- Notable exceptions include Turkey and Ukraine, where vulnerability to external financial conditions have been joined by domestic turmoil in recent months. Russia has also experienced a depreciation of 5% since the start of the year.
- Markets are likely to remain volatile as the Fed gradually reduces the scale of its asset purchases and as the “commodity super-cycle” is ending with the slowdown of emerging market demand. Cross-border bank deleveraging will likely continue, putting additional, though generally not major, pressure on EM funding in the EBRD region.
- In this environment the strength of domestic fundamentals is likely to prove a critical determinant of EMs' resilience and the extent to which they suffer capital outflows.
