4:00 Panel Discussion
Current Prospects for the EM Corporate Bond Market
Topics will include:
· What has the market really learned from the global credit crisis and what are the ramifications for EM corporate debt?
· Is there further room for a rally in the EM corporate bond arena or do current conditions indicate a bubble in the making?
· How has the current crisis transformed both buy-side and sell-side market participants, and how will these changes likely impact the future course of the EM debt market?
· What is the outlook for new issuance among the high and speculative grade sectors; and what are the prospects for a revival of perpetual bonds?
· How should agency-assigned ratings be used? Has the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac situation altered the notion of quasi-sovereigns?
