Drop-In: EM Financial Risk Update – Checking the pulse amid the Middle East conflict

How are emerging market economic and financial risks evolving as the conflict in the Middle East enters its third month? With energy prices remaining elevated, investors are navigating an increasingly complex mix of currency, banking, and sovereign debt risks.

In this session, at 10:00 ET/15:00 BST on Wednesday 6 May, highlighting the latest quarterly update of our proprietary EM Financial Risk Indicators, our economists will show what these signals imply for EM economic stability. The team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:

• Where resilience is holding and where vulnerabilities are emerging across EMs, with a particular focus on Middle East economies
•  If elevated energy prices risk balance of payments pressures
• Why currency risks are rising in Turkey and remain high in Egypt
