Webinar

Turning more optimistic on several frontier markets

16 September 2025 – 4.00pm BST (London)

online

In this webinar, we will provide in-depth insights on selected frontier markets.

We will be looking at:

Ecuador: We upgrade Ecuador to overweight in response to much stronger fiscal correction, both on the revenue and spending sides.
Pakistan: We share some optimism around IMF-led reforms, which ease near-term external financing pressures
Senegal: We’ve finally seen some positive signals from the government and willingness to embrace austerity to correct a huge debt burden.
Ukraine: Our underweight reflects pessimism on conflict resolution and deep fiscal holes.
Bolivia: Default in 2027 remains a significant concern. Future government will struggle to implement the required fiscal and external correction.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
