Issuance
Emerging Market Debt is primarily issued by sovereign issuers. Corporate debt does exist, but corporations in developing countries generally tend to borrow from banks and other sources, as public debt issuance requires both sufficiently developed markets and large borrowing needs. Sovereign issuance has historically been primarily issued in foreign currencies, either US Dollars or Euros. In recent years, however, the development of pension systems in certain countries has led to increasing issuance in local currencies. A sovereign bond is a bond issued by a national government as opposed to a municipal bond which is issued by a subdivision of a national government. ...

EMD tends to have a lower credit rating than other sovereign debt because of the increased economic and political risks - where most developed countries are either AAA or AA-rated, most EMD issuance is rated below investment grade, though a few countries that have seen significant improvements have been upgraded to BBB or A ratings, and a handful of lower income countries have reached ratings levels equivalent to more profligate developed countries. In investment, the credit rating assesses the credit worthiness of a corporation. ...

History Emerging Market Debt was historically a small part of bond markets, as primary issuance was limited, data quality was poor, markets were illiquid and crises were a regular occurrence. Since the advent of the Brady Plan in the early 1990s, however, issuance has increased dramatically. The market has continued to be more prone to crises than other debt markets, including the Tequila Crisis in 1994-95, East Asian financial crisis in 1997, Russian financial crisis in 1998 and Argentine economic crisis in 2001-02.

As a result, most small and poor countries are not actually counted as belonging in the EMD universe. Countries currently listed as EMD issuers include A handful of countries have also 'graduated' from EMD issuance as they have either stopped issuing due to lesser borrowing needs, improved credit quality, or becoming increasingly developed. These include the Czech Republic, India, Poland, South Korea and Thailand, among others.
