Bloomberg reports on Rodrigo Paz’s proposed response to Bolivia’s fuel and dollar shortages after his election. Citing Jonathan Fortun’s written analysis, it highlights how a gradual adjustment depends on financing, credibility and the prospect of IMF support.
Fortun contrasts the sovereign-bond rally after Bolivia's election with continued uncertainty in the parallel currency market and unresolved fiscal imbalances.
In an interview after an IIF meeting, Fortun discusses the peso's offshore use, portfolio diversification and the institutions supporting investor confidence in Mexico.

Debt inflows kept emerging market portfolio investment positive in September despite renewed equity withdrawals. The October tracker records $26.2 billion in net inflows, combining $31.1 billion entering debt with $4.9 billion leaving equities. China outflows and valuation constraints signal vulnerabilities beneath the relative stability of aggregate debt demand.
Fortun describes emerging-market inflows as increasingly concentrated and dependent on conditions, with Latin America holding up better than Asia and Eastern Europe.

The positive headline therefore masks weaker equity momentum and tighter valuation constraints, highlighting the importance of distinguishing the composition of inflows from their aggregate size.
