Glossary
- Emerging-market debt (EM debt)
- Hard-currency or local-currency bonds issued by sovereigns, quasi-sovereigns and corporates in developing economies. At this Dubai congress the term covers CIS, MENA, Africa and other frontier issuers that sit in EM portfolio mandates.
- Sukuk
- Islamic investment certificates structured to avoid interest, typically linked to underlying assets or projects. Sukuk arrangers and issuers use events like this Cbonds congress to meet investors who allocate to Sharia-compliant fixed income.
- Eurobond
- A bond issued in a currency other than the issuer's domestic currency and sold to international investors. Much of the primary-market discussion in Dubai focuses on hard-currency Eurobonds from sovereign and corporate borrowers.
- Primary market
- The stage at which new bonds are sold to investors, usually through book-building and allocation. Issuers and lead managers use the conference to test demand before launching a new transaction.
- Secondary market
- Trading of bonds after issuance. Liquidity, bid-offer spreads and dealer inventory are practical topics for the buy-side and sell-side desks attending the Dubai event.
- Yield curve
- The relationship between bond yields and maturities for a given issuer or market. Investors compare curve shape across sovereigns to judge relative value and duration positioning.
- Credit spread
- The yield premium a bond offers over a benchmark, usually a government curve. Spread levels help delegates compare issuer risk across CIS, MENA and other emerging markets.
- Duration
- A measure of a bond's price sensitivity to interest-rate changes. Fixed-income portfolio managers use duration alongside credit risk when allocating across hard-currency and local-currency debt.
- Book-building
- The process of collecting investor orders and price indications before a new bond is allocated. It is central to discussions between issuers, arrangers and buy-side accounts at primary-market conferences.
- Covenant
- A contractual promise in a bond indenture that can restrict issuer behaviour or trigger remedies. Legal and DCM advisers compare covenant packages as part of cross-border issuance planning.
- Local-currency bond
- A bond denominated in the issuer's domestic currency. These instruments are relevant to investors seeking domestic yield and to issuers developing onshore debt markets.
- Quasi-sovereign issuer
- A borrower that is owned or supported by a government but is not the sovereign itself, such as a national development bank or state-owned company. Quasi-sovereign credit stories are a regular feature of EM debt conferences.
