Emerging markets draw nearly US$27 billion in portfolio inflows in October, led by Asia
Emerging markets attract almost US$27bn in investor flows in October, with Asia and non-China equities leading the charge.
The Institute of International Finance (IIF) reported that investors added US$26.9 billion to emerging-market equities and debt in October, up from US$21.1 billion in September. Asia accounted for US$16.5 billion of the total, and non-China equity inflows reached their highest since December 2023. While overall debt inflows slowed, equities were the main driver, and analysts say the trend signals renewed interest in emerging-market assets amid more favourable global conditions.
However, key risks remain including export exposure and currency volatility in selective markets.
