About this work
Stronger exports and relatively stable debt repayments kept emerging market external financing needs contained in July 2021. Jonathan Fortun and Sergi Lanau explain how exports recovering faster than imports supported current account balances. Higher US bond yields remained a vulnerability, but their assessment considered the potential shock more manageable than in 2013.
