Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Vulnerability

Tightening monetary policy by largest Central Banks, high fuel and food prices, as well as a slowdown in the global economy put many emerging economies at risk of default on sovereign debt service. In May 2022 Sri Lanka defaulted on its debt for the first time. To find out which other countries are at risk of default, Bloomberg created the ranking of Emerging Markets sovereign debt vulnerability based on four indicators:Government bond yields (the weighted-average yield of the country’s dollar bonds)5-year credit default swap (CDS) spreadInterest expense as a percentage of GDPGovernment debt as a percentage of GDP According to Bloomberg estimates El Salvador has the highest risk of default mostly because of its larger interest expense and total government debt.

Bank's Non-food Credit Grows 6.8pc in September 2021 //pt.knoema.com/ribagad/bank-s-non-food-credit-grows-6-8pc-in-september-2021 2021-11-08T07:49:42Z Nematullah Khan pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1975840
Bank's Non-food Credit Grows 6.8pc in September 2021

(3rd November 2021) Non-food credit from banks accelerated 6.8% YoY in September 2021, mainly driven by credit to medium sized industries, gold lending and Personal loans.Credit to medium industries registered a robust growth of 49% in September 2021 as compared to 17.5 per cent last year. This was largely due to the packages announced by the government of India (GoI) and the RBI to meet the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit to micro and small industries accelerated to 9.7% in September 2021 from a moderate contraction of 0.1% a year ago at the same time.Personal loan registered the credit growth of 12.1% in September as compared to 8.4% in the previous year due to growth in housing loan (9%), Credit card (9.5%), Vehicle loans (8.9%) and loans against gold jewellery (59.1%).

Access to Financial Institution Accounts

Roughly two-thirds of all adults worldwide have a bank account. This is a simple, headline-grabbing finding based on a review of the Global Findex database published by the World Bank. Underlying geographic differences transcend a simple West - developing world divide. Other distinctions, including gender, income, and education, only widen the difference as well. Here are just a few examples of these disparities: World Region. Developing countries in East Asia & the Pacific have pushed ahead of those in other regions to achieve the highest share of the adult population (70.4%) with access to a bank account. Africa - facing an anticipated population boom - remains the region with the greatest disparity between countries in terms of share of the adult population with a bank account. On average, 68.4 percent of South Asian's have a bank account compared to 28.2 percent in neighboring Zimbabwe and only 9.5 percent in Niger. Income. On average, the share of the low-income population with access to a bank account changed from 13 percent in 2011 to 24 percent in 2014, with wide differences existing within regions and countries. For example, while Indonesia made large gains in account access between 2011 and 2017, by 2017 only 36 percent of the poorest 40% of the population had a bank account whereas 57 percent of the wealthiest 60% had an account. Education. Indonesia is illustrative of the continuing education gap as well. In 2017, the share of the population with a secondary education or more that had a bank account (62%) was nearly twice greater than the population with a primary education or less (34%). ________________________ See also: Epidemic Readiness | Natural Disasters | Broader Achievement of the SDGs | Mobile Banking

Worldwide: Profiles of Mobile Banking Users

Based on responses to the 2017 survey, mobile banking has yet to become a panacea for access to financial lending and saving resources for developing countries, suggesting cultural, regulatory, and commercial obstacles must be examined more closely. Following are two regional cases with very different results, the first is a story of near indifference to mobile banking, the second one of a regionalization of this modern resource.In Latin America, the percentage of respondents who in 2017 reporting having a mobile banking account varied from zero to maximums of 2.4 percent in Argentina and 28.9 percent in Paraguay. Africa showed a much sharper dispersion of results, while also reporting nine of the top 10 shares of respondents with mobile accounts. Even more interesting, the top three were all East African countries: Kenya (72.9%), Uganda (50.6%), Zimbabwe (48.6). Ethiopia, Morocco, and Myanmar were among the African countries with the lowest reported rates of mobile banking accounts, ranging from 0.3-0.75 percent.Use the visualizations below to examine the education, gender, and income differences among mobile account users. _____________________   See also: Access to Accounts with Financial Institutions

The Panama Papers: Key Statistics

The Washington, DC-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has released a database of the so-called Panama Papers - information leaked primarily from Mossack Fonseca, one of the world's leading global law firms providing services of incorporation of offshore entities and headquartered in Panama. The leak is the largest ever of offshore financial records and contains about 11.5 million legal and financial records dating back more than 40 years.  The files expose more than 213,000 offshore entities created in 21 jurisdictions, stripping away the secrecy from the offshore holdings of 238,000 people from 200 countries, including 140 politicians and public officials. The Panama Papers came to be in late-2014 when an anonymous source transferred more than 2.6 terabytes of data from Mossack Fonseca - including documents, electronic spreadsheets, and letters - to reporters at the German newspaper Süeddeustche Zeitung. Since the data received by the newspaper were raw reports and not a standardized registry, the newspaper asked the ICIJ to organize a global collaborative to analyze the files. The combined effort of more than 370 reporters from around the world allowed for the creation of a structured database which is convenient to use for analysis of the leaked data. The database covers only a portion of the leaked records, avoiding disclosure of personally identifying information related to bank accounts, emails, and financial transactions. The data indicates that Mossack Fonseca collaborated with more than 14,000 intermediaries - usually banks, law-firms or middlemen going between those seeking an offshore firm and a provider of offshore services. Most of the intermediaries (about 38%) operated in Hong Kong, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. With the help of this broad network of go-betweens, Mossack Fonseca set up more than 213,000 companies, trusts and foundations for its customers. However, the records show that since 2011 clients of the law firm have been rapidly deactivating their offshore entities. Thus, during the last four years the number of incorporated offshore companies declined by almost 50 percent. This is partly due to the fact that offshore companies as a rule are active for only a short period of time. Among 21 offshore jurisdictions, the most popular is the British Virgin Islands, home to almost a half of all entities captured in the dataset. The second most favorable tax haven is Panama, accounting for 48,373 incorporations. For more information, visit the ICIJ official Offshore Leaks Database website.

Shifting from Greek to UK Exit: What does EU membership mean to the UK? //pt.knoema.com/mppjcgf/shifting-from-greek-to-uk-exit-what-does-eu-membership-mean-to-the-uk 2016-05-31T15:11:23Z Alex Kulikov pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1847910
Shifting from Greek to UK Exit: What does EU membership mean to the UK?

What has EU membership meant for the UK? Could the UK economy withstand a deterioration in its link to the European economy? Have existing EU policies that some argue disproportionately favor founding EU members - read France, Germany, and Italy - been more harmful than helpful to the UK economy? It's not only the citizens and government of the UK seeking answers to these questions and many more like them but trading partners, business competitors and investors, and others with economic, political, and even military objectives in operating in a world in which the UK's status is partly defined by its EU membership.The UK today represents 8 percent of total European goods exports and 17 percent of total services exports. Far from inconsequential. The UK also happens to be a large importer of goods from the EU. Underlying these statistics is a UK services economy burgeoning by comparison to any other:The UK services sector generates about 80 percent of GDP and 83 percent of total employment.Foreign trade in services is the only factor that currently contributes positively to the current account balance, helping to ease chronic deficits. The 2014 current account balance reached a record -5.5 percent of GDP, the largest deficit since 1960.So the question remains - and, according to Prime Minister Cameron we only need to wait until yearend 2017 at the latest for an answer - whether the voters of the UK, if given the opportunity, believe that their economy and way of life favors a vote to remain in the EU. The prime minister's negotiations with the EU to improve the terms of his country's membership - expected demands cover topics ranging from advancement of the single market in services, digital media and energy markets, to reductions in EU regulatory powers and benefits revisions for new migrants - will almost certainly dominate the terms and timing of a referendum and the likely outcome. Yet, fans of data and statistics will be assessing whether a vote in favor of remaining in the EU will improve the probability of greater economic stability. According to IMF baseline projections, if current conditions persist, the UK will be able to reduce deficit of current account to 3.3 percent GDP by 2020. Any deterioration in services trade could undermine the UK's financial system stability, particularly in regard to the sustainability of the country's government debt.The UK's strong financial sector allows it to maintain government debt at average interest rates as low as about 2 percent. A EU exit could erode London's status as a leading Eureopan financial center as Eurozone transactions migrate to financial centers in Frankfurt and Luxembourg.

Shifting from Greek to UK Exit: What does EU membership mean to the UK?

Greece's economic position and performance within the EU starkly contrasts that of the United Kingdom. Using a few select indictors, including GDP, GDP growth, trade, government debt, and interest rates, among others, the visualizations clearly show why one size hardly fits all in the European Union. Stability has never been a characteristic of Greece's economic reality within the Union.Services & Trade     Financial Sector Strength     "Brexit" vs. "Grexit"

S-and-P 500 Index Historical Prices 1985-2016 //pt.knoema.com/qcgmkoc/s-and-p-500-index-historical-prices-1985-2016 2016-04-27T12:35:01Z Alex Kulikov pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1847910
S-and-P 500 Index Historical Prices 1985-2016

Standard & Poor's 500 Index (or S&P 500) is market index considered by many as one of the best gauges of the U.S. equity market and U.S. economy as a whole. The index includes 500 leading large-cap companies from leading sectors of the american economy covering 80% of all available market capitalization. To enter the index, company should meet the following membership eligibility criteria: market capitalization should be US$ 5.3 billion or more; company's shares should demonstrate adequate liquidity and be reasonably priced; most recent quarter's earnings as well as their sum for the last four quarters should be positive; public float should constitute at least 50% of the stock; company should have operationally justifiable financial leverage. Currently, one fifths of index constituents belong to information and technology sector. Among top-10 companies by index weight there are such giants as Apple, Microsoft and ExxonMobil. S&P 500 unlike Dow Jones Industrial Average is not price-weighed but market cap weighted. Historically, it was the first market index calculated on the basis of this methodology. Under this approach, the index value at any given point in time represents the quotient of the total float adjusted market capitalization of the index components and its divisor, which is adjusted for all changes in the share capital of constituents. Only shares that are in free-float are considered in index calculation. S&P 500 was launched on March 4, 1957 by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The base value of the index is 10 and the base date is 1941-1943. Looking at the recent historical performance of the index two distinct spikes hit the eye. The first one corresponds to the period of dot-com bubble during which S&P 500 reached the point of 1527.46 on March 24, 2000 that was not exceeded for seven years and then dropped to 776.76 in the next 2 years.

Shifting from Greek to UK Exit: What does EU membership mean to the UK? //pt.knoema.com/odfezkg/shifting-from-greek-to-uk-exit-what-does-eu-membership-mean-to-the-uk 2015-11-05T17:18:14Z Alex Kulikov pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1847910
Shifting from Greek to UK Exit: What does EU membership mean to the UK?

What has EU membership meant for the UK? Could the UK economy withstand a deterioration in its link to the European economy? Have existing EU policies that some argue disproportionately favor founding EU members - read France, Germany, and Italy - been more harmful than helpful to the UK economy? It's not only the citizens and government of the UK seeking answers to these questions and many more like them but trading partners, business competitors and investors, and others with economic, political, and even military objectives in operating in a world in which the UK's status is partly defined by its EU membership. The UK today represents 8 percent of total European goods exports and 17 percent of total services exports. Far from inconsequential. The UK also happens to be a large importer of goods from the EU. Underlying these statistics is a UK services economy burgeoning by comparison to any other:The UK services sector generates about 80 percent of GDP and 83 percent of total employment.Foreign trade in services is the only factor that currently contributes positively to the current account balance, helping to ease chronic deficits. The 2014 current account balance reached a record -5.5 percent of GDP, the largest deficit since 1960.So the question remains - and, according to Prime Minister Cameron we only need to wait until yearend 2017 at the latest - whether the voters of the UK, if given the opportunity, believe that their economy and way of life favors a vote to remain in the EU. The prime minister's negotiations with the EU to improve the terms of his country's membership - expected demands cover topics ranging from advancement of the single market in services, digital media and energy markets, to reductions in EU regulatory powers and benefits revisions for new migrants - will almost certainly dominate the terms and timing of a referendum and the likely outcome. Yet, fans of data and statistics will be assessing a vote in favor of remaining in the EU will improve the probability of greater economic stability. According to IMF baseline projections, if current conditions persist, the UK will be able to reduce deficit of current account to 3.3 percent GDP by 2020. Any deterioration in services trade could undermine the UK's financial system stability, particularly in regard to the sustainability of the country's government debt.The UK's strong financial sector allows it to maintain government debt at average interest rates as low as about 2 percent. A EU exit could erode London's status as a leading Eureopan financial center as Eurozone transactions migrate to financial centers in Frankfurt and Luxembourg.Sources: World Development Indicators (WDI), August 2015, IMF World Economic Outlook (WEO), April 2015, OECD - Quarterly National Accounts, May 2015, Annual Macro-Economic Database, July 2015, WTO statistical data sets, 1948-2014, OECD National Accounts at a Glance, 2015, The Global Financial Centres Index, March 2015 (GFCI 17), Services Trade Restrictiveness Index, Sustainable Governance Indicators, 2014 Services & Trade     Financial Sector Strength     "Brexit" vs. "Grexit"
