Washington, D.C., March 26, 2014 - The Institute of International Finance today released new estimates for portfolio flows to emerging markets for March 2014 suggesting that portfolio inflows rebounded in the last two months, following emerging market stress in early 2014.

IIF estimates emerging markets received $39 billion in portfolio inflows in March, up from $25 billion in February and $5 billion in January.

The March estimate reflects $24 billion going into emerging market bond markets (portfolio debt flows) and $15 billion into emerging market stock markets (portfolio equity flows).

Overall, IIF made net upward revisions of $6 billion to its estimates for portfolio inflows in the period from December to February, split evenly between portfolio debt and equity inflows.

The solid inflow estimates for March primarily reflect robust flows into the three economies that release daily data on portfolio flows, and a moderation in global risk aversion.

This is the first edition of the monthly tracker, which IIF announced earlier in March. IIF will release updates of the Emerging Markets Portfolio Flows Tracker during the last week of every month.
