Emerging markets are facing headwinds (owing to a fall in commodity prices and the risks associated with China s structural transformation and the Fed s monetary policy shift) at a time when their own macroeconomic policies are still too loose and the lack of structural reforms has undermined potential growth. Moreover many of these emerging markets face political and electoral risks.

Furthermore, emerging international banking capital adequacy regulations (Basel II), make the credit risks rating of potential borrowers a condition for their access to bank loans.

In that sense, although China, with its 3.5 trillion stock of foreign exchange reserves, may seem to exemplify emerging economies tendency to be over insured against external risks, it actually faces the same credit risks as its counterparts. The difference is that China has implemented structural and thus longer lasting credit based policies, while other emerging economies have been drawn into a cyclical lending binge.

Many infectious diseases that ravage developing countries today, notably HIV AIDS and tuberculosis, pose severe risks for the entire world, particularly in the light of emerging drug resistance.

But they remained underinsured against domestic credit risks 160 the leading threat to emerging economies today. After the global financial crisis erupted in 2008, interest rates plummeted, fueling private sector credit booms in many of the largest emerging markets, including Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Turkey.

Most emerging market borrowers had learned their lesson by the turn of the century, as exchange rate volatility had made the risks of currency mismatch more tangible. When international investors came knocking again in 2003, many emerging markets declined to borrow in dollars or other foreign currencies.

SEOUL Emerging economies are facing significant uncertainty and serious downside risks. One major source of instability is the looming reversal of the US Federal Reserve s expansionary monetary policy the prospect of which is generating volatility in global financial markets and threatening to disrupt emerging economy growth.

Can Russian President Vladimir Putin s regime withstand a prolonged period of low energy prices and Western sanctions? What risks do you see emerging should Russia s economy continue to decline, with Putin increasingly unable to reward his political base?

In short, the medium term benefits that emerging economies could receive from faster growth in the US are now being swamped by short term risks generated by the capital tsunami, as Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has called it.

Since 2005, following recommendations by the United Nations Board of Auditors, all audits rated at below average or deficient are brought to the attention of the Oversight Committee where the main control failures and emerging risks are highlighted.

Thus, central banks in many advanced and emerging economies are facing a nightmare scenario, in which they simultaneously must tighten monetary policy (to fight inflation) and ease it (to reduce the downside risks to growth). As inflation and growth risks combine in varied and complex ways in different economies, it will be very difficult for central bankers to juggle these contradictory imperatives.

The attenuation of downside risks and pleasant surprises in developed and emerging economies could lead to a further increase in demand for risky assets (equities and credit), which would reinforce economic recovery via wealth effects and lower borrowing costs.

Sterilized intervention usually doesn t work if assets in advanced economies and emerging markets remain perfectly substitutable, inflows will continue as long as interest rate differentials persist. But the demand for emerging market assets is neither infinite nor perfectly substitutable for the assets of advanced economies even for given interest rate differentials because these assets have very different liquidity and credit risks.

LONDON Over the last decade, America s expansionary monetary policy and China s rapid growth have been the two key drivers of global financial flows. Now, both dynamics are being reversed, generating new risks for the global economy particularly for emerging countries.

So far, the downside and upside risks for the world economy are balanced.
