Three key themes in emerging markets for 2024
March 11 2024Key Insights
- Falling inflation in emerging markets (EM) is paving the way for interest rate cuts in 2024.
- China's ability to support EM growth is more limited now, so developing countries will have to find new sources to drive economic growth in the future.
- EM external debt could benefit if frontier issuers are able to regain access to the international debt capital markets.

International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. The risks of international investing are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries. Emerging and frontier market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed market countries. Fixed‐income securities are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and interest‐rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.
Information contained herein is based upon sources we consider to be reliable; we do not, however, guarantee its accuracy. Actual future outcomes may differ materially from any forward-looking statements made.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal.
