LEMB: Sovereign Debt Is Not The Best Vehicle For Emerging Markets
Emerging market sovereign debt is not the best way to access emerging market growth this decade. 2023 saw positive performance for emerging market debt, but weaker 2024 performance and concerns about currency, growth, and inflation make 2025 less attractive. Geopolitical and economic risks, slower growth, and policy rate uncertainty contribute to a hazy outlook for sovereign debt in 2025.
