How Does PCAF Data Help Us Better Understand Emerging Market Sovereign Debt?

The intended audience of this paper is the emerging market debt team as well as general investors.

Executive Summary

Introduction

Emerging markets are vibrant, but also volatile. Investing in emerging market sovereign debt can offer attractive potential returns for investors, as these economies often have higher economic growth rates. However, investing in emerging market sovereign debt also carries risks. Therefore, it is important to assess risks before making investment decisions. The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) can help investors in sovereign debt to assess the climate impact of their investments. By measuring the carbon footprint of sovereign debt investments, investors can identify countries and issuers that are contributing the most to carbon emissions and help mitigate climate change through investments. ## Analysis
