Original sin redux: role of duration risk

Carol Bertaut, Valentina Bruno and Hyun Song Shin

No 1109, BIS Working Papers from Bank for International Settlements

Abstract: We highlight the role of duration and exchange rate risks on portfolio flows by using a unique and comprehensive database of US investor flows into emerging market government bonds denominated in local currency. Borrowing long-term mitigates roll-over risk but amplifies valuation changes that further interact with currency movements. Our analysis highlights the double-edged nature of long-term borrowing and draws attention to market stress dynamics from the nonbank financial sector.
