Excerpt from Abstract of paper “We examine the issue of valuation effects in emerging market economies (EMEs), particularly the impact of exchange rate variations on their external wealth. Taking Chile as a case study, we first show that price and exchange rate-induced valuation changes have led to divergent trends between the accumulated current account and the NIIP, which improved markedly between 2019 and 2021 despite extreme social unrest and the Covid crisis.”
The combination of rising interest rates in mature economies and already high debt levels in EM economies continues to put strains on government balance sheets. According to the IIF, emerging market debt levels (government and private) rose in Q1 2023 and are now over $100 trillion, up from around $75 trillion in 2019.
To help us sort out these dynamics, we turn to GIC’s College of Central Bankers Fellows José De Gregorio, former Governor of the Central Bank of Chile and currently the Dean of the School of Economics and Business of the Universidad de Chile, and Mustapha Nabli, former Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia.
