Determinants of bond market development Econometric Results Macroeconomic and institutional fundamentals (foster both local and foreign currency bond markets) Flexible exchange rate policies (pegs induce foreign currency bonds issuance against domestic currency bonds) Size (determine liquidity and risk diversification options) Investor base (pension funds, insurance companies) Market regulation and Infrastructure Public debt management (provide base yield curve) Inflation indexing
Determinants of stock market development Determinants of stock market development Econometric Results Macro & institutional fundamentals (foster both domestic stock market development and internationalization of equity trading and issuance) Size (determine liquidity and risk diversification options) Investor base (pension funds, insurance companies) Market regulation and Infrastructure Internationalization adversely affects turnover of domestic (non-internationalized) firms (Trade migration, negative spillovers, and trade diversion)
Latin Securities Markets Key Result: Shortfall in Local Market Development Latin America is different robust econometric result Domestic stock markets are less developed than predicted by fundamentals and less responsive to reforms Internationalization of Latin stock trading and issuance is higher than predicted by fundamentals and more responsive to reforms Domestic currency bond markets are less developed, controlling for fundamentals and size Latin America is an extreme, but it is not alone Witness Eastern Europe and even Western Europe and East Asia is at the other extreme Is East Asia the future or the past?
Some Key Questions for the Discussion Sessions How is financial globalization affecting domestic capital markets? Is it making local stock and bond markets grow or shrink? What can domestic capital markets offer that international capital markets could not? Limiting currency and rollover risk? Broadening access to SME s? How to develop domestic markets for long-term local currency debt, without barriers to international integration? Is there a role for IFIs?
