Overview

Emerging market returns have displayed remarkable resilience in 2023, and institutional investors are re-engaging with the asset class after a decade of underperformance. This has naturally given way to key questions as the developing world contends with tighter financial conditions, rising debt levels and heightened geopolitical risk. What does sticky inflation mean for EM monetary policy? Can emerging markets reduce their record debt burden without fostering financial instability? How should EM investors position amid flagging US-China relations and Russia’s war in Ukraine?

Find answers at the 2023 Emerging Market Investment Forum. This in-person event will see industry leaders explore the key trends that are reshaping the global investment landscape.
