A series of big events shaped Emerging market primary markets in 2016 and 2017YTD

Source: Bondradar as of 2 April 2017

Monthly Emerging markets primary issuance since January 2016

Volatile start in 2016

  • Shaky

start in 2016 with heightened China growth concerns

  • Aftermath of the

December Fed rate hike

  • Low

commodity prices Improving market backdrop

  • EM issuance enjoyed a

turnaround as oil prices began to stabilise in late February

  • The FOMC meeting at the

end of March suggesting the Fed would remain “cautious” towards future rate hikes was viewed as a dovish signal Brexit volatiliy

  • Heightened

volatility before and after the Brexit referendum

  • EM primary

markets volume fell significantly in June Brexit-induced EM rally

  • EM

markets demonstrated a swift rebound after the Brexit vote driven by dovish central bank policies Post-FOMC issuance rush

  • The

FOMC meeting mid- September

  • pened

the door for a very active end to the month and October Trump election victory

  • A sharp rise in

global bond yields since Donald Trump’s surprising election victory spurred an underperformance

  • f EM debt
  • The

December rate hike also increased volatility Strong start in 2017

  • Despite ongoing uncertainty

regarding the policies of the new US administration, primary markets picked up in the first months of 2017

  • Issuance driven by LatAm and

Asian borrowers

  • The run-up to the March rate

hike led to some volatility at the end of February

  • 2016 was a year of surprises, stunning political

upsets, and repeated bouts of financial markets’

  • volatility. Despite these shocks and after a dismal

start, financial markets demonstrated a remarkable resilience, essentially shrugging off concerns about the impact of the Brexit vote and resulting in a long run of risk-on sentiment that pushed portfolio flows to EM to a record high during the summer and early fall

  • In 2016, EM produced its second highest annual

issuance volume on record at USD 481bn, following only 2014's USD 507bn

  • Issuance varied throughout the year with

different regions seeing periods of record supply as well as extended dry spells

  • Primary markets slowed abruptly after

Donald Trump's unexpected USD election victory

  • The more self-sufficient Asian region

was the only source of consistent issuance in the final two months of the year

  • Emerging market issuance was very strong in the

first three months of 2017, with USD 177bn of Eurobonds placed by corporate and sovereign issuers.

  • This was twice the issuance in 1Q 2016,

with corporate issuers based in China placing three times as much so far in 2017 compared to last year. Chinese financial and corporate issuers with USD 36bn of bonds issued dwarfed any other single country

  • Issuance in CEE was also strong, but its relative

importance has diminished in the last few years, partly as a result of lower government financing needs and a substitution of external debt for debt denominated in local currencies.

  • Outside of CEE, sovereign issuance was very

strong with Argentina issuing USD 10bn and Middle Eastern issuers also very active with first- time issuer Kuwait placing USD 8bn in March

A closer look at the Russian primary market

Russian issuance volumes by industry

  • Russian primary issuance

dominated by Metals & Mining and Oil & Gas credits

  • FIG issuance is still subdued

compared to 2013

Source: UniCredit research, Bloomberg as of 10 April 2017

  • The strong performance of Russian credits over the last two years coupled with the scarcity of supply (compared to 2013) led to a spike in

demand for recent Russian issues, especially for blue chip corporate companies

  • Demand is further enhanced by domestic investors (unlike other EM markets such as Turkey)
  • Recent Russian issuers therefore managed to reprice their secondary curve and price bond transactions flat or with a negative new

issue premium (e.g. Gazprom, Nornickel, Severstal, etc.)

Global volatility indicator

Volatility at a low after volatility hikes following the Brexit vote and Trump's unexpected election victory

Trump's surprise election victory Brexit vote Average since 1 January 2016: USD 46

  • After the rollercoaster ride of 2016, with its many political shocks, reversals
  • f risk appetite and soaring volatility, financial markets have rebounded this

year

  • Volatility has ebbed to a 15-year low and EM assets rebounded strongly
  • Much of the recent bout of market optimism may be overdone as it is

rooted in expectations of a major boost to US growth but there is also a more fundamental basis for the recent rebound in market optimism: the global economy has never looked so good since 2011

  • The growth outlook has brightened across the globe, and growth in EMs

is gathering speed thanks to rising commodity prices, improved policies, and recovering global trade

Emerging market volatility at a historic low

The global investment environment in 2017 has delivered average returns for most asset classes but below average volatility

Source: UniCredit research; Bloomberg as of 5 April 2017

Volatility across asset classes (calculated from 1Q 2002)

  • The global investment environment during the first three months of 2017 has been very favorable across asset classes and in particular to

emerging markets stocks and bonds which have performed better than the typical first quarter

  • The most salient feature across assets is that volatility is below the levels for comparable periods in previous years but also lower than the

average quarterly volatility since 2002

  • For some asset classes such as EM corporates, the volatility of returns reached record lows, while returns were in line with the average
  • UniCredit believes that the global environment for emerging markets is favorable, but we also think that this pattern of record low volatility

across asset classes will be difficult to continue going forward as there are several triggers for instability that have been lightly discounted by the market

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • 2017YTD inflows are in excess of USD 20bn during the first three months of the year, a record exceeding that for 2013
  • Appetite for local-currency bond funds has increased over the past five weeks as investors become more constructive on EM inflation

and currency valuations.

  • ETFs are raising their presence higher, representing one third of total fund allocations so far
  • The stellar performance in EM allocations is partly explained by a reversal of the outflows following the risk-off period in the month after the

US presidential election.

  • The level of EM-dedicated AUM now exceeds that prior to the election date and the more than USD 20bn of inflows in 2017

reversed the around USD 15bn of post-election outflows

  • UniCredit remains optimistic about the asset class. Balance of payments portfolio flows data for the first months of the year indicate that net

flows into EM stocks and bonds are gathering speed, particularly in March, leading us to conclude that the flow story was not just a matter of an adjustment to the asset class mix in favor of EM fixed income but an overall increase in allocations.

Trends in CEE and Emerging markets in 2017YTD

  • EM primary issuance at record highs driven
  • Wide variety of fixed income instruments issued in EM primary markets and successful introduction of new products

in EM opening up a completely new market and investor base for the region:

  • Mortgage covered bonds
  • Green bonds
  • Schuldscheindarlehen
  • Local currency Eurobonds (e.g. Russian Ruble Eurobonds)
  • Tier 2 FIG transactions
  • Liability management transactions
  • Russian borrowers are repricing their secondary curves in recent transactions (primary pricing tighter than

secondary levels)

  • Changes in the investor space:
  • US investors less engaged in recent transactions (especially out of Russia), while demand from European investors

is stickier and less price sensitive

  • Remarkable resilience of EM assets despite major global and internal challenges
