Emerging markets have shown remarkable resilience in the face of global financial volatility, thanks to a combination of \u201cgood policies\u201d and, to a lesser extent, \u201cgood luck,\u201d according to the International Monetary Fund\u2019s (IMF) latest World Economic Outlook (WEO) released on Monday.<\/p>\n

The report’s chapter 2, titled \u201cEmerging Market Resilience: Good Luck or Good Policies?\u201d, finds that many emerging economies are now better equipped to withstand global \u201crisk-off\u201d shocks \u2014 periods when investors retreat from riskier assets \u2014 than they were before the 2008 global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

The IMF attributes this resilience primarily to improved monetary, fiscal, and macroprudential frameworks, which have allowed central banks to act more independently, stabilize domestic economies, and reduce reliance on foreign exchange interventions.<\/p>\n

Andrea Presbitero, deputy division chief of the IMF Research Department\u2019s Multilateral Surveillance Division, said in a media briefing that t<\/span>he implementation and credibility of monetary policy have gradually improved over time.<\/p>\n

Presbitero said central banks in emerging markets have increasingly focused on output stabilization rather than exchange rate management, reflecting better-anchored inflation expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we look at the risk of episodes before and after the global financial crisis, the data show that growth was about one percentage point higher after the GFC than before,\u201d Presbitero said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalf of that improvement is due to stronger policy frameworks \u2014 the other half, to good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the WEO, improved policy frameworks have helped emerging markets achieve 0.5 percentage point higher growth and 0.6 percentage point lower inflation during recent episodes of global financial stress compared with the pre-crisis period.<\/p>\n

\u201cInflation was 0.6 percentage points lower, entirely thanks to better policies,\u201d Presbitero added, underscoring the importance of institutional reforms and monetary discipline implemented in the post-crisis years.<\/p>\n

The report also finds that emerging markets have also made progress in fiscal discipline, with governments becoming more responsive to debt sustainability pressures. However, high-debt countries still face elevated borrowing costs, particularly during global downturns.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiscal strength has paid off, but risks remain,\u201d Presbitero said, pointing to deteriorating external conditions, shrinking fiscal space, and political pressures that could test resilience once again.<\/p>\n

Central banks are now less prone to fiscal dominance \u2014 situations where monetary policy is constrained by government financing needs \u2014 and are demonstrating greater autonomy from U.S. monetary policy.<\/p>\n

A key shift highlighted by the IMF is the reduction in foreign exchange interventions. In countries with credible monetary policies and stronger financial regulation, central banks have allowed their currencies to adjust more freely to market conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cCountries with strong policy frameworks are less likely to intervene in foreign exchange markets during periods of volatility,\u201d read the report, adding that such nations experience smaller output losses and lower inflation spikes when shocks occur.<\/p>\n

While the overall picture is positive, the IMF cautions that progress has been uneven across regions. Economies with weaker institutions and high debt levels remain vulnerable to sudden capital outflows and inflation surges.<\/p>\n

The Fund urges these countries to avoid delaying monetary tightening when inflationary pressures emerge, warning that hesitation can lead to \u201clarger output losses and greater inflation persistence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IMF emphasised that continued reform is essential to sustain resilience in an increasingly uncertain global environment. Safeguarding central bank independence, rebuilding fiscal space, and maintaining macroprudential vigilance are seen as key priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmerging markets with strong frameworks benefit from easier policy trade-offs and face a lower risk and severity of capital flow reversals,\u201d the Fund said. \u201cBut external conditions can deteriorate rapidly \u2014 complacency would be costly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the IMF’s chapter 3 of the Global Financial Stability (GFS) report on \u201cGlobal Shocks, Local Markets\u201d<\/span> showed that emerging and frontier markets are increasingly turning to local currency borrowing to strengthen financial resilience \u2014 but the trend also brings new risks, including the potential for crowding out private credit and creating vulnerabilities in domestic banking systems.<\/p>\n

The findings of the GFS cover 12 large emerging markets, eight smaller ones, and about 20 frontier economies.<\/p>\n

The study shows that over the past decade, emerging markets have steadily migrated toward issuing debt in local currencies, reducing reliance on foreign-currency borrowing that previously left them exposed to exchange rate shocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn major emerging markets, the share of local currency bonds has risen from 79% to 88% over the last 10 years,\u201d said Jason Wu, assistant director for global markets analysis, monetary and capital markets department at the IMF.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn frontier economies, the increase has been even sharper \u2014 from roughly 70% to over 85%.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
