Banking sector crises have historically been one of the key drivers of risk for EM countries' asset returns. Could the next banking crisis be in EM?
The recent COP27 gathering will likely be remembered for shifting the global climate-change debate. We share our key takeaways from the conference.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shocked the global economy, in particular by fueling further spikes in energy and commodity prices. How will these inflationary catalysts affect monetary policy in different regions?
