Valuation in Emerging Markets • Risk Free Rate in Emerging Markets • EM market government debt is • Not risk free (below investment grade) • Traded in illiquid markets • Often denominated in mayor crncy like the USD • Estimate the risk free rate by adding the inflation differential between the local market and the US to the US Treasury 10-year-yield • Risk free rate = 10-year U.S gov. Bond yield + (local inflation – US inflation) • Price target in local crncy
Valuation in Emerging Markets • Country Risks can also be captured by adjusting the cash flows in a scenario analysis rather than including them in the discount rate • Widely used approach • As cash flows are measured in foreign crncy long term exchange rate estimates are needed to derive local crncy price targets.
Outlook • The prolonged rate cut cycle due to high real rates will lead to strong domestic consumption • Privatizations in the energy, telecom and banking sector will be positive for the stock market • Global slowdown have muted effect on Turkish economy due to strong domestic dynamics • Risks: Turkey is historically sensitive to global risk appetite, we thus expect a positive but volatile performance for 2008. We also see inflation risk due to rising food & oil prices.
