Corporate debt rises uncontrollably in the region

The corporate debt in emerging markets has skyrocketed in the last decade, with China and Latin America in the lead, making them more vulnerable to the imminent interest rise in the US and the falling prices of raw materials. This increase has been favored by an environment of low interest rates in advanced economies.

China leads the debt increase – which in emerging economies has quadrupled in ten years-, followed by that of Chile, Brazil, India, Peru, Thailand and Mexico.

The ratio of GDP debt of emerging economies has grown by 26% between 2004 and 2014.
