What’s next for Asia’s manufacturing and exports?
Topic: Asia’s manufacturing production and exports are not immune to ongoing global supply-side constraints. But our analysis shows that regional factors such as China’s weakening demand and domestic Covid-related restrictions have at times played a more important role. We discuss the drivers behind the slowdown in Asia’s manufacturing sector and exports and present our short-term outlook.

Frontier market turmoil: Argentina’s value, Sri Lanka’s crisis, Egyptian FX worries

We see value in Argentine bonds, as the country should benefit from higher commodity prices and liquidity risks are contained; we focus on the light at the end of Sri Lanka’s tunnel, with markets failing to price in the possibility of a successful IMF program; and also our concerns that further depreciation may be consistent with Egyptian stabilisation efforts.
