What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Global funds are continuing operations across Latin America and Eastern Europe despite ongoing capital friction. Managing non-convertible currencies remains a persistent hurdle for international funds, as sovereign currency controls and central bank interventions can erode returns on local debt instruments and international equities. To navigate these structural obstacles, institutional portfolios are relying on specialized derivative instruments like Non-Deliverable Forward Contracts.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Non-Deliverable Forwards solve the structural bottleneck created when central banks restrict capital outflows, allowing foreign exchange contracts to settle strictly in major freely convertible currencies. This mechanism enables institutions to capture sovereign yield spreads without taking on unhedged foreign exchange downside.
