This week is already teed up to be busy for CEEMEA supply with at least six new bond/sukuk issues being marketed. Last week, issuance took a breather ahead of the FOMC, with just two deals totaling US$1.31bn-equivalent. Size isn’t everything, however, and both transactions were notable. CTP tapped into the rally in real estate credit to issue the first bonds from a Central and Eastern European property developer in two years. Turk Eximbank managed to overcome investor hesitance about adding more Turkish risk to portfolios ahead of the expected sovereign deal and set final terms on its latest syndication flat to fair value. Recent new issues in CEEMEA, the order volumes that they have drawn and the zero concessions at which they have priced, suggest that investors have plenty of cash to put to work. But fund flows data and secondary market activity offer a different picture. For the week ending January 25, LSEG Lipper data shows net outflows from hard currency EM debt funds and ETFs of US$93.2m. The previous week the asset class posted net outflows of US$499.85m. In the secondary market, Nigeria’s whole curve weakened over several days last week while Oman’s longer-dated bonds also softened. https://www.ifre.com/ has it all and more. #CEEMEA #emergingmarkets #bonds #debt #debtcapitalmarkets

The article discusses Morgan Stanley's plans to double its private credit portfolio to $50 billion by 2024. This expansion aims to capitalize on the growing demand for alternative investments and the search for higher yields in a low-interest-rate environment. Morgan Stanley's move is part of its broader strategy to diversify revenue streams and expand its presence in alternative asset classes. At Brisco Investment Group, we have always believed in the value of private credit and alternative asset classes, and Morgan Stanley's ambitious plans to double its private credit portfolio further validate the importance of these investment strategies in today's market landscape.

Ivory Coast’s new issue – reviving sub-Saharan sovereign bond issuance after a two-year hiatus – was the headline grabbing deal in the CEEMEA primary market last week. Something of a standout credit in the region, Ivory Coast’s market access doesn’t necessarily herald imminent supply from its peers, but if Treasury yields trend lower at a decent pace over the course of the year, names such as Angola, Kenya and Senegal could look to issue. Romania and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund also provided more sovereign and sovereign-linked dollar supply last week. Bank issuance is also on a roll. Trades out of Central and Eastern Europe are being met with significant demand, offering good relative value versus Western European issuers. Erste Croatia and OTP Bank each tapped the market last week. Meanwhile, Qatar National Bank managed to achieve both size and tight pricing with its first syndication in three years. A UAE real estate credit has also been meeting with fixed-income investors for the first time. In the secondary market, Ukrainian corporate credits – both privately owned and state-linked – were some of the best performing in the CEEMEA bond market last week, albeit they remain trading at distressed levels.
