Global Emerging Markets Weakening
By: Amit Bhushan Date: 15th June 2015
The weakening of Emerging Markets currency on the back of sliding exports and pull-back of investments is seen as some sort of major drawback in emerging economies. The paparazzi are agog with all sorts of hypothecation. What seems to be happening is rather simple. The corporations are ‘buying or investing’ in areas that would get them a higher share of their domestic markets edging out ‘imports’. This is causing China’s exports mix to shift from high end markets towards lower end markets in emerging countries, which now have increased share of its exports and growing. The global MNCs are building domestic capacities in home markets to in-source whatever can be in-sourced profitably. The commodities are down so that further explains lowering of the overall value of imports in developed markets and exports of commodity exporters. This pretty much explain the current rise in stocks in developed markets and fall in stock in emerging markets.
Soon the emerging markets corporate would start clamour for their own domestic markets by importing technologies and boosting domestic manufacturing/brands and distribution. This would then re-start the boost in emerging market stocks depending upon how much the MNCs from developed world are able to hold on to their market share. Given the growth rate that currently seem possible in emerging markets, this might have possibilities for several upsets in the global manufacturing and corporations structure. Off course from a political viewpoint the readiness of leadership to take particular course of action will need to be assessed in the emerging scenario. Already the domestic leadership in emerging markets is under pressure to create jobs within the countries. This actually signals trend that the capital will start moving back into emerging market though in a different shape and may be at more opportune time when the currency balancing has played out and commodities once again start to rise may be on the back of increased demand.
For present, expansion is global economy seems to be dependent on the expansion in services in emerging markets, which should play for balancing the existing manufacturing capacities in emerging markets (vacated by the falling demand in developed world for such manufactures), as well as for balancing consumption in commodities. The rise in interest rates in developed world will throw in more clarity regards the ‘rise’ especially which sectors are growing and where the camouflage is.
