Debt stock up 10% to $7.4 trillion at end-2017

ICE Market Data Services indicated that outstanding debt in emerging markets (EMs) reached $7,416bn at the end of 2017, constituting an increase of 10.1% from $6,737bn at end-2016. The debt stock includes the local and external debt of sovereign and non-sovereign issuers. In comparison, the global bond market rose by 4.8% year-on-year to $63,847bn at the end of 2017, mainly supported by the growth in EM debt during the year. Outstanding local sovereign debt in EMs increased by 7.5% year-on-year to $4,787bn at end-2017, and accounted for 64.6% of the total EM bond stock, mainly due to a rise of $209bn and $17bn in Chinese and Russian local debt, respectively. The external non-sovereign debt stock followed with $1,472bn, or 19.8% of the total, then external sovereign debt with $900bn (12.1%) and the local non-sovereign bond market with $256.6bn (3.5%). In parallel, ICE indicated that outstanding local non-sovereign debt in EMs rose by 56% at the end of 2017, the largest year-on-year increase among debt segments, followed by external sovereign bonds (+16%), external non-sovereign debt (+9.5%) and local sovereign bonds (+7.5%).
