Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition shows emerging market financial conditions weakened as investor risk appetite waned over expected higher-for-longer interest rates. Slower than expected disinflation cast uncertainty on future monetary policy stances and pushed bond yields up in both advanced economies and in emerging East Asia, prompting a $20 billion bond outflow from March to April. Local currency bond issuances contracted 9% in East Asia, totaling $2.2 trillion. Growth in the local currency bond market slowed to 1.4%, reaching $24.7 trillion in the first quarter. Sustainable bond issuances in ASEAN+3 contracted 13.3%, with stock reaching $805.9 billion by the end of March.
