LyrArc Article Gist
Countries ranging from Mexico and Columbia to the Philippines and Indonesia are using the bond markets to raise capital at lower interest rates. This shows a surge in investor interest in emerging market bonds in 2012. The Philippines had $12.5 billion in orders for $1.5 billion of 25 year bonds at a yield of about 5%. Indonesia sold 30 year bonds at 5.37%, and Columbia issued $1.5 billion of 29 year bonds for 4.96%. Brazil sold $750 million bonds for a yield of 3.45%, the lowest rate Brazil has had in its history. The lower yield on U.S. Treasury debt is making emerging market debt attractive. There is also a reevaluation of sovereign credit risk that favors emerging markets.

Support LyrArc

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
