JPMorgan is finalising a new Frontier Market Local Currency Debt Index, signalling a major shift in how global investors view high-yield, high-growth economies. With heavyweights like Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Vietnam, and Bangladesh set to dominate the index, frontier markets are stepping into the spotlight.
Why does this matter?
Frontier local debt is now a $1 trillion market and has outperformed traditional EM bonds, offering yield premiums of 400bps+, with most countries yielding above 10%. Yet these economies host one-fifth of the world’s population and receive barely 3% of global capital flows.
In simple terms: the world’s most underpriced growth story is finally getting a benchmark.
If this index gains traction, it won’t just guide portfolios — it could reshape capital flows, deepen local markets, and redefine how global investors think about risk and return in the next decade.
The frontier is becoming the new core.
