1. Emerging East Asian Bond Yields Fall as Global Economic Prospects Improve
Bond yields in emerging East Asian markets continued their downward trend between 1 March and mid-May as optimism in global economic prospects gained pace, the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Asia Bond Monitor said.
“Strong economic fundamentals are helping emerging East Asian markets to realize gains from the improved global outlook,” said Yasuyuki Sawada, ADB Chief Economist. “Policy efforts should continue to encourage investments in emerging East Asia while safeguarding the region’s financial stability.”
Among local currency (LCY) government bond markets in the region, Indonesia experienced the largest decline in yields as it benefited from positive investor sentiment and a credit rating upgrade. Bond market expansion slowed in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) — the largest LCY bond market in emerging East Asia — amid debt concerns and the PRC government’s associated deleveraging efforts.
