IIF Portfolio Flows Tracker Sees Moderation of Inflows in April

April 28, 2014
 

Washington, D.C., April 28, 2014 - The Institute of International Finance today released new estimates for portfolio flows to emerging markets for April 2014 that saw portfolio inflows moderate during the month after a strong rebound in March.

The IIF estimates emerging markets received $25 billion in portfolio inflows from global investors, compared to $38 billion in March and $17 billion in February.

The April figure reflects $15 billion going into emerging market bond markets (portfolio debt) and $10 billion into emerging market stock markets (portfolio equity).

Overall, the IIF made net downward revisions of $9 billion to its flows estimates for January to March, of which $2 billion were for debt flows and $7 billion for equity flows. These revisions primarily reflect new data released by individual countries.

The IIF will release updates of the Emerging Market Portfolio Flows Tracker during the last week of every month.
