  • China the new “buzz” word

    China’s currency devaluation in August sent shock waves globally

    • Is this a repeat of 2008?

    We don’t think so. 2008 was a liquidity crunch that arose from asset price declines. Central Bankers

    globally have kept monetary conditions loose since then.

    • Is this a repeat of 1997 Asian financial crisis?

    We don’t think so. Asian economies are more resilient today with current account surpluses and

    lower USD obligations.

    • So what is this?

    It’s likely to be an adjustment to slower global growth. However, weak growth in China could result in

    further currency weakness which will impact other EM currencies.

  • How has MENA performed in light of this?

  • The views expressed are those of the presenter at the time of preparation and may change in future.

    Summary

    • Global growth continues to improve steadily, particularly in the developed world

    • Currency depreciation, a lower oil price and accommodative central bank policy should all help

    boost growth in the months ahead

    • Interest rates in the US and UK look set to rise over the next year, with QE set to continue in

    the EU and Japan

    • Chinese economic growth looks likely to slow dramatically, helping keep inflation in check

    • Areas of the bond market remain attractive to income seekers

    • Equities look reasonably valued and are underpinned by the bond markets

    • Well managed equities remain our asset class of choice for the patient long-term investor
