In this episode of the Frontier Markets Podcast, we have a conversation with Beth Morrissey; Managing Partner at Kleiman International, an emerging markets focused advisory and research firm. Beth and Kleiman have been covering emerging markets for 35+ years. They've seen multiple cycles of sovereign debt crises (Brady Bonds), emerging market booms (Asian Tigers), and more. This episode covers: A thematic history of frontier and emerging markets, and its relationship with the IMF/World Bank Current patterns of sovereign debt distress in 20+ countries; most of which are in Africa. Turkey's recent election, its industrial history over the last 2 decades, and questions regarding its future Egypt's decades of 'economic reform' Debt for Nature Swaps Emerging Markets Themes for the next decade. This was an incredibly informative episode (apologies for the lacklustre audio!). I hope you enjoy it. --- Related resources: Kleiman International's Twitter Account (highly recommend their feed).
