Capital Markets and Corporate Governance Service Line Capital Markets Practice, FPD Emerging Capital Markets Update for June 2012 All data are as of Friday, June 29, 2012 except indicated otherwise. The regional indices are based on an average of major EM countries in each region where the data are available. Summary for June 2012 Greece s election result, the G-20 summit communiqué, and the agreement in the EU summit calmed nervous investors, and markets around the world recovered some losses. As investors felt a bit safer and searched for higher yields again, the price of the US government bond fell and the US dollar weakened slightly. EM currencies, on the other hand, gained some strength, while yields of EM government bonds declined, sovereign spreads narrowed and CDS rates dropped. Both equity and bond markets in many EM countries gained in June. However, it was still far from a full recovery after May s huge losses. With many lingering worries over euro-zone debt, the US fiscal situation and slow global growth, EM markets road to recovery will likely be a bumpy one. Money Markets and Exchange Rates EM Central Bank Policy Rates: Two central banks in monitored emerging markets changed their policy rates in June 2012. Kazakhstan lowered its refinancing rate by 50 basis points to 6.0% and People s Bank of China lowered its one-year lending rate by 25 bps to 6.31%. With growth decelerating, the cut by China was expected after downward adjustments of bank reserve requirements. 1

GEMX Rebounded: In June: The GEMX Global Total Return Index (unhedged), which measures local currency government bond performance in 24 investible emerging markets, rebounded from May s large loss with a 4.6 percent gain. The strength of many EM currencies contributed to the gains; its hedged sibling gained only by 1.4 percent. The three regional unhedged indices also gained: Europe/Central Asia/Africa (+6.4%), Latin America (+5.6%) and Asia (+1.3%). Among 24 GEMX countries, 21 showed gains in the unhedged index. Hungary (+12.3%), Mexico (+11.7%) and Poland (+8.1%) were the top performers; these were also the countries whose currencies strengthened the most in June. South Africa (+6.9%), Peru, Turkey and Philippines (+5.2%, each) also had fairly large gains. On the other hand, Uruguay (- 3.2%), Nigeria (-2.1%) and Sri Lanka (-0.4%) lost. Year to date: The GEMX Global Total Return Index (unhedged) now had a gain of 6.5 percent. Latin America (+9.5%), Europe/Central Asia (+8.8%) and Asia (+0.6%) all gained. Performance in twenty countries was positive and was negative in four. Kenya (+23.5%), Hungary (+19.7%), Colombia (+14.9%), Mexico (+14.0%), Turkey (+13.8%) and Peru (+11.1%) were the top performers, gaining by double-digits. Among countries with negative returns, Sri Lanka was the only large loss, -15.6 percent. All others lost less than one percent. Comparison to other bond market indices: With June s rebound, the GEMX global total return index outperformed the JP Morgan government bond index in developed countries (as denoted by the GBI Global index) by over six percent (6.5% vs. 0.4%). It also outperformed the GBI-EM broad diversified index, a popular emerging markets local currency government bond index produced by JP Morgan, by 0.4 percent. 150 GEMX Total Return Index (2/29/2008 = 100, Unhedged) 150 GBI Global Total Return Index (2/29/2008 = 100, level US$) 140 130 120 110 100 140 130 120 110 100 90 Dec-10Feb-11Apr-11 Jun-11Aug-11Oct-11Dec-11Feb-12Apr-12 Jun-12 Asia (122.0) ECA/SSA (118.0) LAC (144.5) Global (126.9) 90 Dec-10Feb-11Apr-11Jun-11Aug-11Oct-11Dec-11Feb-12Apr-12Jun-12 GBI Global (123.1) Germany (110.3) Japan (143.8) United Kingdom (112.2) United States (125.7) Note: 1.

An Improvement in EM Equity Issuance from Last Month: In June: Equity issuance improved slightly in June. US$11.4 billion was raised in EM equity markets for the month, an increase from May s US$7.9 billion, but still lower than June 2011 level (US$13.4 billion). Asia continued to be the dominant force in equity issuance and China still had the largest number of issuances. For a total 70 EM issuances in June, 50 occurred in Asia and 33 of them were in China. In terms of capital raised, Asia (US$10.4 bn) made up 90.7 percent of total EM capital raised, and China (US$5.8 bn) alone accounted for 51.1 percent of the EM total. Besides China, Poland (13) and Malaysia (8) were the other two countries that had the most issuances despite the fact that the amount issued in Poland was quite small. Unlike in May, when no equity issuance was recorded in LAC or MENA/SSA, this month the two regions recorded three issuances each. There were 43 domestic IPOs with amount US$5.6 billion issued, comprised 61.4 percent of issuance and 49.2 percent of capital raised, respectively. Year to date: Equity issuance fell in number (-231) and in value (-US$38 bn) compared with 2011. Every region had a smaller number of issuances. Asia, ECA and LAC also had lower amounts of capital raised. Asia, with 138 fewer issuances and US$15.6 billion less value, led the decline. LAC (-US$12.9 bn) followed in second. Country specific: China alone had US$17.8 billion less capital raised. Brazil (- US$7.2 bn) and Russian Federation (-US$6.6 bn) also raised significantly less capital this year. On the positive side, Malaysia (US$2.2 bn) had the largest increase, though this was attributed entirely to the amount raised in June. 9

US$211.2 billion worth of debts were issued in Asia, accounting for 60.8 percent of EM total debt issuance. Europe/Central Asia had the second-largest amount (US$56.5 bn) issued, but was also lower than the previous month s level. Only Latin America (US$49.3 bn) increased debt issuance from the previous month s level by US$7.9 billion; meanwhile, Middle East/Africa region (US$30.5 bn) had the least amount issued. As usual, less than a dozen countries dominated EM debt issuance markets. In June, 83.3 percent EM debt securities were issued by eight countries. China ($133.7 bn) had the largest amount issued, followed by Hungary ($37.4 bn), India ($29.1 bn), Mexico ($24.1 bn) and Thailand ($22.0 bn). Brazil, Malaysia and South Africa each also had at least ten billion dollar issued. Year to date: US$2.23 Trillion debt was issued by EM countries, and the countries mentioned above accounted for nearly three quarters of the total amount. Corporate issuers accounted for 26.4 percent of EM debt issued on average. But in many countries, such as Pakistan, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya and Nigeria, the portion of debts issued by companies was very low, which is to say that the governments (central banks included) dominated the debt markets. Domestic issuance accounted for 87.6 percent of EM debt on average. But for Pakistan, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Egypt, Morocco and Kenya, all debt was issued domestically this year. This may reflect difficulties to access international markets for those countries given higher risk perceptions or their lower record of accessing external markets. On the other hand, Costa Rica (2.3%), Slovakia (5.1%), Peru (44.5%), Croatia (44.9%), Indonesia (45.0%), and Colombia (47.3%) had relatively low percentages of domestic debt issuance which might indicate an opportunistic stance on low international interest rates. It is worth noting that short term debts (mature within a year) still accounted for a large portion of EM debt issued. For the year, long term debt was 52.3 percent of all EM debt issued. For 14 of 34 countries, more than 50 percent of the debt issued was short term. For countries such as Hungary (1.8%), Pakistan (12.6%), Kenya (14.5%), Nigeria (5.4%) and Egypt (17.4%), their long term debt was less than 20 percent of total debt issued, which may indicate difficulty in issuing longer term debt in those countries, at least for now. 11

EM Debt Markets Liquidity Update: improved in the first quarter EMTA s survey of 60 banks on EM debt trading volume showed that total trading value was US$1,386 billion in the first quarter 2012, an increase of nearly 40 percent from US$993 billion in the last quarter 2011. This volume was also slightly higher than the volume in Q1-2011 (US$1,360 bn). Trading volumes in Eurobond and local currency instruments increased by 59.2 and 32.1 percent, respectively. All regions had higher trading volume with Europe/Central Asia (58.7%) leading. Latin America (49.1%) and the Middle East/Sub-Saharan Africa (33.5%) also had large increases as compared with last quarter of 2011. Asia (1.8%) had only a small increase. Unlike in the equity and debt issuance where most activities happened in Asia, nearly half of EM debt trading volume was for Latin American securities, especially Brazil (18.1%) and Mexico (16.7%). Securities of few other countries, such as Russian Federation (9.4%), South Africa (6.8%), Turkey (5.9%), China (5.4%) and Poland (5.2%), also accounted for a relative large share of EM trading volume during the quarter. Overall, more than two thirds of EM debt trading activities took place in the securities of those seven countries. Compare with the previous quarter, among 34 EM economies listed in the table, Kenya (740%), Slovakia (484%), Romania (344%), Colombia (220%), Peru (159%), Thailand (121%), Croatia (116%) and Nigeria (116%) posted triple-digit increases in trading volume, although some of them started with a low base. On the other hand, Morocco (-77.2%), India (-52.3%), Tunisia (-49.4%), Pakistan (- 39.1%) and Sri Lanka (-37.2%) had large declines in trading volume. In total, Brazil (US$82.7 bn), Mexico (US$76.4 bn), Russian Federation (US$50.9 bn), Colombia (US$41.3 bn) and Turkey (US$29.7 bn) recorded large increases while India (-US$24.8 bn) had the largest decline. External debt (Eurobond) instruments accounted for one fifth of total EM debt trading while local currency debt instruments accounted for 64.6 percent EM debt trading in the quarter. But there are large variations among 34 countries. On one hand, for China, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Hungary, Poland, and South Africa, trading in local currency instruments was over eighty percent of country s debt trading, indicating a large portion of debt trading took place in the local markets. On the other hand, debt trading in Sri Lanka, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Argentina, Venezuela, Morocco, Tunisia and Kenya, was concentrated in the Eurobond market. The lack of trading in local currency instruments might be an indication of a low level of domestic debt market development in those countries. 13

EM Bond Fund Flows: slower inflows but larger year-on-year In May: EM bond funds had a total of US$1.96 billion in inflows in May, the smallest monthly inflow in 2012 and a 47 percent reduction from the previous month. The hard-currency funds took in US$1.43 billion of inflows, accounted for 73 percent total inflows, even it was 48 percent less than the previous month (US$2.73 bn). Local currency funds had only US$203 million in inflows, a quarter of the previous month s level (US$808 mn). Meanwhile, blend-currency funds received US$327 million inflow. Mexico (+US$337 mn), Brazil (+US$294 mn) and Russian Federation (+US$224 mn) continued to be the three countries with the largest monthly inflows. Year to date: A flight to safety by investors in April and May caused a large drop in inflows, but the total inflows to EM bond funds were strong for 2012, with a total of US$22 billion year to date and more than double the inflows of the same period in last year. Of that total, two thirds (US$14.8 billion) went to EM hard-currency funds and a quarter (US$5.4 billion) went to EM local currency funds. The rest (US$1.8 billion) went to blend currency funds. It was clear that investors have been putting more money into EM hard currency funds in 2012, a departure from the past when EM local currency funds usually attracted more inflows. Investors desire to take on less currency risk seems to be the main reason behind this shift. As in the past, investment was concentrated in a few EM countries. Mexico (US$3.19 bn), Brazil (US$2.83 bn), Russian Federation (US$2.17 bn), Indonesia (US$1.68 bn), South Africa (US$1.41 bn), Poland (US$1.35 bn), Turkey (US$1.19 bn) and Malaysia (US$1.07 bn) each had at least one billion US dollar inflows in five months. The eight together accounted for two third of inflows to all EM bond funds. Early indication for June: For the first six months, mutual funds invested in EM markets had total inflows of US$37.4 billion according to EPFR weekly reports. EM equity funds received US$14.3 billion while bond funds had inflows of US$23.1 billion. However, most inflows occurred in the first quarter of the year. As the European debt crisis heavily affected global markets in the second quarter of 2012, EM equity funds took a hard hit with US$10.5 billion in outflows. Among EM equity funds, Asia-ex Japan funds were hit the hardest, with outflows of US$8.1 billion in the second quarter. The Latin America and EMEA (Europe-Middle East-Africa) regional focus funds also had more than one billion dollars in net redemptions each in the quarter. Uncertainty about the true state of growth in China was in investor s minds as they took US$1.4 billion out of China focus funds in three months. Other BRIC country funds: Brazil (-US$722 mn), Russia (-US$673 mn) and India (-US$814 mn), all had outflows. In contrast to the EM equity funds, EM bond funds kept inflows in the second quarter, though they were not as large as in the first quarter. 15
