The Globalization of Corporate Finance in Developing Countries
May, 2007T H E W O R L D B A N K
Key Messages
Slowdown in global growth is likely to reverse the benign financial conditions facing developing countries
Private capital flows have continued to expand in 2006, but many low-income countries depend on development assistance
Developing countries gain from financial globalization of the corporate sector
A soft landing is expected; yet downside risks remain
Outlook for the global economy
The U.S. slowdown is only having a limited effect on European and developing country growth
Outlook for the global economy

Low long-term interest rates favor a soft landing led by robust developing country growth

Slower growth will help reduce global imbalances and inflationary pressures
But downside risks (U.S. recession, revaluation of risk, overheating) mean a more abrupt slowdown is possible.

Basis points
Key challenge ahead: managing the risk of an abrupt turn in the credit cycle
Consequences would be severe in some countries
Risk under-priced in markets with large imbalances and/or incipient inflation?
Inadequate information relating to new instruments, borrowers and creditors
Structured financial products & hedge funds/private equity
External debt increasingly in corporate sector
Borrowing by low-income countries on non-concessional terms could endanger debt sustainability
