Progressive Markets: Why It Needs To Be Different?
Some of the progressive markets have suffered from a volatile summer moving at the prospect of financial policy normalization in USA. Nevertheless, total disregard in progressive markets either in debt or equities would have avoided some pertinent factors as said by Panicko Lawrence.
Structural fundamentals of most of the progressive economies have some noticeable progress during recent years through lessons grasped from last crises.
Besides this, there are substantial differences at play among progressive markets to let smart and energetic managers yield greater than handsome returns for market view.
More about crisis resilience
The US Federal Reserve appears to make its financial policy normal over time. Some of the progressive markets have practiced capital outflows. Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia and India with their present account deficit have witnessed their currencies depreciating against the US dollars in 3Q.
Some of the investors are concerned that such countries could come across another payment crisis, quite similar to the Asian financial crisis which struck in the year of 1977. Such worries are immensely unaccounted for and Regent Consultancy provides help in avoiding worries.
Although individual countries may confront cyclical difficulties for short term, but there are many structural safeguards to provide means of stability.
Many progressive economies have good exchange rate systems, rather than currency peg to the US dollar to allow for the exchange rate to provide help in adjusting imbalances in the payments. With a better foreign exchange reserve, the central banks are capable of managing currency depreciation in a better manner. The Private Client Group at Regent Consultancy is quite helpful in this matter. As per international financial fund, progressive market foreign exchange reserves have gone up from USD 600mn in the year 1997 to USD 7.4trn in Q1 in 2013. This growth in reserves helps in proffering a support to foreign currency liabilities like foreign currency debt repayments or import bills. Furthermore, many economies of Asia have witnessed a lower ratio of short-term external debt to reserves relative to 1997.
It is also pertinent to notice that bilateral and regional currency swap agreements have been in place for reinforcing market confidence towards countries having less powerful external payment position. An instance of this is Chiang-Mai Multilateral Initiative that pools USD 120 bn worth of FX reserves from thirteen countries of Asia. South Africa, China, India, Russia and Brazil are having discussions to establish a USD 100bn reserve pool.
