EM credit markets continue to hold up well amid the challenging macro backdrop, with some more optimism building around the higher-yielding portion of the market. With valuations fairly tight on the whole, we expect more positive technical tailwinds, such as a return of inflows to the asset class, will be needed for spreads to tighten further. Key topics: • EM Credit: Weekly review. • Egypt surges amid foreign investment from UAE. • CEEMEA corporates: Brief review of key events: ENGPRO, KZO...

TBC has reported GEL 291m in net income for 4Q23, in line with the GEL 288m consensus and our GEL 292m estimate. We believe that the bank may not have finished 2023 with a huge bang, but nothing to be desired in terms of earnings power, with a ROTE of around 30%. The bank kept on going full throttle in Uzbekistan as well. TBC will pay out a GEL 4.7/share dividend (a 4.9% yield on Friday’s stock price) on 19 July (ex. date 13 June). We rate TBC a BUY, with a GBP 32.9/share price target. The bank ...
