Borrowers in the emerging markets are tapping into euro bonds at a much faster rate since a decade as they review the US dollar’s decline.

BRICS members such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa are receiving foreign funds from institutional clients, which were the de facto investments in the USA. The goalpost is being moved to the global south where developing countries are reaping the benefits of a weaker dollar. The focus on the Southeast region came after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on trade this year.
