  • Economic Research and Financial Stability

    RESEARCH ON EM ECONOMIC/FINANCIAL RISKS AND DEBT-RELATED ISSUES. WE PROVIDED OUR MEMBERS WITH RESEARCH ON A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS IN 2022, INCLUDING INVESTIGATING HOW GEOPOLITICAL TRENDS, INCLUDING THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND CHINA'S POTENTIAL RE-OPENING, HAVE SHIFTED CROSS-BORDER CAPITAL FLOWS AND IMPACTED GLOBAL DEBT DYNAMICS. WE RESEARCHED HOW HIGH COMMODITY PRICES, ESPECIALLY ENERGY PRICES, RISING INTEREST RATES, HIGH SOVEREIGN BORROWING NEEDS AND SLOWER ECONOMIC GROWTH POSE RISKS FOR FINANCIAL STABILITYPARTICULARLY FOR EMERGING AND FRONTIER MARKETS. WE DEEPENED OUR CROSS-COUNTRY RESEARCH OFFERINGS WHILE CREATING RELEVANT COUNTRY ANALYSES, FOR EXAMPLE, ON CHINA, RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, TURKEY, COLOMBIA, BRAZIL, AND FRONTIER MARKETS SUCH AS EGYPT. ON THE POLICY SIDE, WE PROMOTED GLOBAL EFFORTS TO ENHANCE THE INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGN DEBT ARCHITECTURE WHILE CLOSELY MONITORING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECENTLY UPDATED IIF PRINCIPLES FOR STABLE CAPITAL FLOWS AND FAIR DEBT RESTRUCTURING A MARKET-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR DEBT CRISIS PREVENTION AND RESOLUTION, FOSTERING ENHANCED DEBT TRANSPARENCY AND ESG CONSIDERATIONS IN SOVEREIGN DEBT MARKETS.
