Individual investors reacted strongly to declining prospects for emerging markets with slowing growth, depreciating currencies, corruption and political uncertainty in 2013. As of the beginning of June, retail investors pulled $18.1 billion from emerging market bond funds, about one third of the amount that went in to emerging markets since the financial crisis in 2007, according to fund tracker EPFR Global. Institutional investors have pulled out less, about $9.3 billion, or 10% of their investments in emerging markets bonds since 2007. A similiar pattern is seen for investment in the stock markets of emerging market countries. The U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary expansion helped pull more money into emerging markets such as India, Indonesia, Brazil and Turkey. As the Fed shifts away from these policies in 2013 emerging market countries have large current account deficits and less money to finance imports and debt.

The IMF and the year to year growth of a country's outstanding Credit to GDP Ratio as a Warning Light Indicator for Country Economies

04/14/2010

The outstanding credit of a country to its GDP ratio and its year to year growth is a warning light indicator is used by the IMF. If the year to year growth in this ratio is over 5 percentage points for a country in a particular year it indicates a warning light. Using this indicator Brazil, China, Turkey are in anticipatory crisis conditions. Use of this indicator would have predicted the crisis in the U.S. in 2008, and the crisis in Ireland, Portugal and Greece, ahead of time so that action could be taken.

The risk of dollar denominated loans in Turkey, India, Brazil, S. Korea and other emerging markets as local currencies depreciate- 2013-2015

05/07/2012

As currencies in emerging markets, the real in Brazil, the rupee in India, the lira in Turkey depreciate in value, it becomes more difficult for borrowers in these countries to pay back loans denominated in dollars. During the period of quantitative easing policies of U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke following the financial crisis of 2008-2009, low U.S. interest rates and strong local currencies made it cheaper to borrow in dollar denominated loans than pay the higher interest for local currency loans in reals, rupees or lira.

Lower than potential growth in India of around 5% for the fiscal year ending in 2013 is a problem for the global economy, as this hurts both developed country exports and holds up growth by not freeing up bottlenecks in transportation and electricity infrastructure.
