Emerging market issuers are hardly a uniform bunch and that was demonstrated this week with some taking full advantage of an undersupplied sukuk market, while in Latin America, some borrowers are facing disaster. Meanwhile, in Turkey, market prices last week suggested investors and dealers got their election predictions wrong.
