  • Last year's credit and liquidity crisis in the world's financial markets has knocked the development of the Eurorand market backwards. With credit concerns still a key factor among investors and with rand paper still yielding far more than other emerging market currencies, issuance has been dominated by vanilla bonds from top-rated names. Diversification of structures, issuers and the investor base has been put on the backburner.
  • ONE THREAT to the role of Euro-MTNs in the international markets, particularly for US issuers, is a possible change to the treatment of swaps by US companies back into dollars by the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
  • Over the past five years, the structures favoured by Japan's retail and institutional investor base have changed constantly as buyers sought to counteract the fluctuations of the yen.
  • Neither a pure emerging market nor a developed economy, South Africa is almost impossible to pigeon-hole as a sovereign borrower. And it has a story to tell to which most of the world wants to listen.
  • There are many reasons behind the recent trend of South Africa's top companies relocating their primary stockmarket listings to the UK. Every company has its own motives. But all are agreed that the trend is based on purely commercial and strategic grounds. It has nothing to do with politics, or concern over the country's prospects.
  • As the process of establishing a Euro-MTN programme becomes more standardised - particularly in terms of the documentation used - what do issuers need to look out for?
  • One of the attractions of the MTN markets for issuers is that they can be tailored to suit indivivual needs. Euroweek spoke to funding officials at five leading MTN issuers - KfW, the World Bank, LBW, DNIB and OKB - about how they access the MTN market.

In economic and monetary policy, the emphasis has been on stability, fiscal strictness and no sudden changes - despite the increasingly pressing need, at a political level, to improve the country's socio-economic conditions for the majority of its people.
  • South Africa's parastatals - the state-owned, infrastructure-related companies that occupy a key role in the country's economy - have long been popular, if infrequent, users of the international capital and credit markets.
  • FEW BANKERS DOUBT THAT THERE are good pockets of demand for European debt product in the US, but those pockets are sometimes expensive to pick. And the fact that US-targeted deals are generally not sold off an MTN platform is telling.
  • The group of borrowers able to access the Japanese investor base is traditionally an exclusive club. Only the highest rated issuers, and those with a long track record in the market, stand to benefit
  • The increasing internationalisation of the South African stockmarket is having a pronounced effect on local companies and investors - in terms of valuations, corporate governance requirements, shareholding structures, asset swaps between local and international investors, institutional performance measurement and the unbundling of corporate cross-holdings. As in many other markets around the world, corporate restructuring and shareholder value are the new buzzwords.
