Scottish Bonds to Create ‘Financial Referendum’ on Independence

The Scottish government plans to sell its debut bonds, nicknamed kilts, in the coming months, giving the bond market a say over the risks of the nation breaking away from the UK. The move is a strategy to get investors and bankers to deal directly with Scotland, but it risks backfiring if the Scottish government's borrowing costs rise in the run-up to any future referendum. For investors, a key risk would be Scotland leaving the UK before the bond matures, as it's unclear how the Scottish economy would perform outside the UK and whether it would adopt a different currency.

➤ Scotland plans to issue its debut bonds ('kilts') to gain direct access to capital markets and gauge investor sentiment on independence. ➤ The issuance carries risks, including potentially higher borrowing costs if independence sentiment grows, which could be used politically against the government. ➤ Investors face uncertainty regarding repayment in sterling and the economic performance of an independent Scotland, with potential yield premiums compared to UK gilts.

Emerging-Market Bond Sales Are Soaring Again as Investors Dive Back Into Risk

Emerging-market bond sales are roaring back as issuers take advantage of rebounding markets to raise fresh financing. Sales of dollar- and euro-denominated bonds from developing nations this month are already running above volumes seen last April, with a total of $46 billion raised through Friday. Investors are keen to use the dry powder they accumulated during the March selloff, and are snapping up bonds from energy exporters and other emerging markets, encouraged by a slide in borrowing costs and improved market sentiment.

➤ Emerging-market bond sales have significantly increased, with $46 billion raised in April alone, driven by investor demand for yield and improved market sentiment. ➤ Issuers are capitalizing on reduced borrowing costs and a perceived decrease in geopolitical risk, leading to a rebound in sales after a March selloff. ➤ Investors are actively deploying 'dry powder' accumulated during recent market volatility, seeking higher yields in emerging market debt despite underlying risks.
