Investing in Emerging Market Stocks, ADRs, ETFs & Funds + Reality

Emerging Market Links + The Week Ahead (June 27, 2022)

Posted June 27, 2022 8:00 am by EMS Editor Comments

Its possible that the West will finally achieve their goal of triggering (what amounts to) an artificial Russian default – a move that is bound to harm the West and emerging markets much more than the Russians. With that backdrop in mind, Western investors better start to understand the global power shift away from the West and how the Dollar’s planned potential replacement might work.

Check out our emerging market ETF lists, ADR lists and closed-end fund lists (also see our site map + list update status as the lists are still being updated as of May 2022) along with our general EM investing tips / advice. All links to emerging market newspapers, investment firms, blogs and other helpful investing resources at the bottom of www.emergingmarketskeptic.com or on the menu under Resources have been updated.

EXPLAINER: What’s the impact of a Russian debt default? (AP)

  • “There is money and there is also the readiness to pay,” Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said last month. “This situation, artificially created by an unfriendly country, will not have any effect on Russians’ quality of life.”
  • Holders of the bonds — for instance, funds that invest in emerging market bonds — could take serious losses. Russia, however, played only a small role in emerging market bond indexes, limiting the losses to fund investors.

Russia Is Winning the Financial War (Lewrockwell.com)

  • A central Asian replacement is planned to be a new super-currency used for cross-border payments, based on an index of a basket of commodities and currencies of the participating nations. Including currencies is a mistake, but otherwise the proposition has merit. 
  • This article explains why and how a properly constructed scheme would work. I demonstrate why it could act as a de facto gold standard.

The Global Power Shift Isn’t West to East–It’s Not That Simple (Charleshughsmith.blogspot.com)

  • Conventional wisdom holds that geopolitical power is inevitably shifting from West to East. It isn’t quite this simple. The real shift is occurring between three sources of power that are not so neatly geographic:
    1. The commodity exporters
    2. The mercantilist exporters of products
    3. The consumer-importing nations

Analysis – Colombia’s first leftist leader Gustavo Petro targets inequality; investors on edge (Reuters)

  • Petro has pledged to fight inequality with free university education, pension reforms and high taxes on unproductive land in the Andean country, where nearly half the population lives in poverty.
  • His proposals – especially a ban on new oil projects for environmental reasons – have startled some investors, though he has promised to respect current contracts.

Philippines Globe Telecom to raise funds, expand (The Asset)

  • Globe Telecom is planning to raise up to 32 billion pesos (US$593 million) through a stock rights offering to fund the expansion of its mobile and broadband network as well as to repay debt.
  • Globe has seen data traffic in its network grow significantly, with the first quarter of 2022 reporting a 27% increase against the same period last year. This growth was driven by the increased smartphone penetration in the network, which rose from 81% in 2020 to 85% in 2021 and led to a higher per person data usage of 22%.

Sri Lanka’s Economy Has ‘Completely Collapsed’: PM (Zero Hedge)

  • Sri Lanka will hold a credit aid conference with India, China, and Japan for loan packages.
  • Sri Lanka had also requested China to amend the terms of a $1.5 billion yuan-denominated swap facility that it signed last year, which stipulates that the fund can only be used provided that Sri Lanka has enough foreign reserves to last three months. About 10 percent of Sri Lanka’s $51 billion external debt is owed to China.
