Looming Shutdown Stunts CMBS Secondary Mart
The possibility of a shutdown of the U.S. federal government and new concerns over the financial health of retailer JCPenney—the largest retail tenant in the commercial mortgage-backed securities universe—have stunted trading in the CMBS secondary mart and also caused a price drop in the CMBX.6 synthetic index.

Companies pause for breath as consolidation takes hold
It has been a year of divergent fortunes for Indonesian corporate debt. The first few months of the year were characterised by endless liquidity, an environment in which low rated borrowers could access remarkably cheap funding. Then everything changed. Chris Wright asks when — and in what form — the markets will return.
-
Healthier banks hunker down for hard times ahead
Indonesia’s banking sector is far stronger today than during previous times of financial stress in the economy, and appears well set to weather the coming storm. But it is so well capitalised that new funding in the international markets is a rarity. By Chris Wright
-
Funding Indonesia’s future
There is little doubt that, by now, international investors have become familiar with Indonesia’s story. The country’s steady rise in credit ratings, as well as the debt management office’s sizeable — and deftly managed — dollar bond issuance over the last decade has meant that it is arguably the stand-out Asian issuer around today. But few Indonesian companies have chosen to follow the sovereign into the international market, relying instead on a domestic debt market that is making strides forward but still has a lot more room to grow. EuroWeek talked to high-profile bankers, analysts and funding officials — including Robert Pakpahan, director general of the country’s debt management office — about what investors can expect in the future, and what changes need to happen to make the domestic market move into the next stage of development.
-
Republic remains a dollar devotee
Any concerns about Indonesia’s fiscal position are belied by the continuing popularity of its sovereign debt, as September’s sukuk issue demonstrated. Indonesia’s international funding is still heavily dominated by the dollar, but if that is where it can find an adoring investor base, why go further afield? By Chris Wright.

Indonesia still strong, despite bearish short term view
Worries over the end of quantitative easing in the US have turned investors cautious over many emerging economies, and Indonesia has not been immune from capital flight. But it has been resilient, and its promise remains, as Chris Wright reports.

Safe-haven credits adapt to new life after crisis
Canada, its crown corporations and provinces have proved sought-after safe-haven assets for investors during the crisis era. Central banks have re-allocated assets to invest in the currency and Canada’s bond markets, underscoring the growth of the country’s economic importance. With bond supply set to fall as Canada and its provinces aim to return to a balanced budget by 2015 and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 25% by 2021, the outlook for Canadian public sector borrowers appears rosy. But all is not a picture of robust health in the Canadian economy. Domestic demand has started to sag, wages are stagnant and there are fears of a housing bubble. EuroWeek met in Toronto with senior Canadian public sector debt figures to discuss the extent to which these problems can harm Canada’s run of form, what positive factors there are to look forward to from outside the country and the outlook for their market.

European banks reaffirm their allegiance to Japan
European financial institutions constitute the core of the Samurai market today. Abenomics has, if anything, increased their allure as investors have grown their appetite for yield while preferring the familiarity of established names. European banks, in turn, enjoy the Samurai market for several reasons: it provides a great deal of diversification from other currencies and investor bases, and leads to still more if issuers go on to issue Uridashi bonds later. Investors are willing to tolerate small and odd-sized tranches across a range of durations, without the insistence on liquidity that is commonplace in other markets; and the investor base tends to be loyal, taking a buy-and-hold approach and rewarding repeat issuers.

Reinvigorated equity sector ready to make up for lost time

Bullish Samurai market plays catch-up after sluggish start
Volatility following the Bank of Japan’s sudden shift in monetary policy in April combined with the surprise absence of Australian banks meant the Samurai market had an even quieter first quarter than usual. But issuers from an increasingly broad range of sectors are making up for lost time, attracted by the opportunities to diversify and secure attractive pricing.

Abenonomics makes its mark in corporate bond market
Abenomics has driven a sharp spike in activity in the domestic corporate bond market. Meanwhile, the international sector is also beginning to feel the effects with bankers receiving an increase in enquiries from a diverse range of issuers keen to lock in low rates before they start to rise.

EM sovereigns switch on to Samurai
Emerging market sovereigns have started to return to the Samurai markets, first under the protection of a JBIC guarantee but increasingly as stand-alone credits. They are attracted by diversity of funding, and keen appetite from Japanese investors hungry for yield. How far down the credit curve will investors be willing to go? By Chris Wright.

International markets ready to welcome Japanese banks
For a country with a famously liquid domestic market, Japanese borrowers from a range of sectors have been refreshingly active in the international capital market over the last 12 months. The run looks set to go on as Japanese banks continue to increase their lending overseas and capital regulations hit home.

Role reversal for Japan’s banks
While the prospects for Japan’s megabanks look more exciting than they have done for many years thanks to strong balance sheets and adoption of global regulations, the outlook for the overcrowded regional banking sector is more uncertain.

Feel-good factor returns to Japan as Abenomics hits home
It’s still early days. But Prime Minister Abe’s cocktail of monetary easing and fiscal stimulus, laced with proposals on long-overdue structural reforms aimed at stoking economic growth, appear to be working. And with Japan’s Diet no longer split, there is every reason to believe Abenomics will continue to work its magic.
-
Hunting for yield in the Japanese public sector
For most foreign investors, pitifully low yields in the JGB market remain a powerful deterrent. Opportunity is therefore knocking for Japan’s other public sector borrowers including DBJ, JBIC and JFM who can offer an attractive pick-up over government bonds.
-
Top credits eye increasing opportunities in Japan
For sovereign, supranational and agency investors, Japan represents a mixed picture: scarcely any opportunity in yen, but strong participation in dollar globals, with a mature retail base ready to pick up structured or high yielding vanilla paper through Uridashi tranches. Leading SSA issuers explain to Chris Wright how they view the funding opportunity in Japan in this virtual roundtable that was held in mid-September.

Framework for Green Bonds
We publish below a white paper setting out a framework for green bonds written by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citi. In this paper, made public for the first time, the two firms lay out a vision for the green bond market and call for a Green Bond Working Group to be formed and drive the evolution of this nascent market. The paper calls for debate about every aspect of the green bond market, from how to guarantee that green bonds are more than just a coat of greenwash to defining the product itself. The two banks spell out the complexities and challenges that must be dealt with if the green bond market is to industrialise and reach its potential and argue that collaboration between issuers, dealers and investors is essential for progress to be made.

Investors run rule over RMBS and housing in the Netherlands
The RMBS market in the Netherlands has long been a cornerstone of the wider European RMBS market, but it faces some stiff headwinds. House prices have fallen 20% from their peak, putting a growing number of mortgage borrowers into negative equity. The government’s efforts at reforming the housing market and reducing the Netherlands’ high LTV/mortgage tax deductibility model have only added to the sense of uncertainty, making turnover of new sales and origination of new mortgages sluggish. Despite all of this, RMBS performance remains very robust with short term and long term arrears barely rising over the past year. A bigger problem could be the lack of primary supply this year. Issuers from the Netherlands are very well funded and, as a result, have publicly issued only €4bn of new RMBS this year to date. When the absence of UK issuance this year is also factored in, there is a danger some investors might rethink their commitment to the RMBS asset class as a whole. In this roundtable, EuroWeek asked a selection of leading investors and issuers in RMBS from the Netherlands for their take on the macroeconomic picture, the shrinking volume of paper and the problems this might create for liquidity and investor appeal, and where potential spread volatility could arise in this sector.

BBVA: showing the way forward in new-style capital
Like many banks in Europe’s periphery, BBVA continues to be dogged by the region’s perennial political and financial crises.

Pohjola exports the Finnish brand

Cajamar shows why a new rating approach is needed
The restructured Spanish bank Cajamar, which has grown its capital base and cleaned up its balance sheet, had its recently issued covered bond downgraded to junk this year by Moody’s. The rating action, which could potentially affect many other issuers, did not take into account the bond’s safety both from a regulatory and structural point of view and, writes Bill Thornhill, was out of sync with the other agencies.

Commerzbank makes a covered bond comeback
