Sovereign Non-payment

Emerging markets often provide the strongest growth opportunities for banks, traders and manufacturers. In recent years, it has again become evident that emerging markets which appear stable one day can suddenly face political unrest or economic instability. Non-payment by a sovereign entity cannot be predicted with any certainty, and volatility continues to affect countries globally.
