The wheels of risk are turning
• Global macroeconomic environment is
changing near term in three ways:
– Concerns about US double dip have faded. Gradually,
focus is turning to timing of withdrawal of monetary stimulus
and sustainability of fiscal stance.
– Europe is becoming less of a driver for global markets.
European policy makers likely to avoid extreme scenario of
uncontrolled default and/or Eurozone breakup.
– EM economies have turned from being a source of
disinflation to becoming a medium term source of inflation.
3
The wheels of risk are turning – bonds and equity
• While we continue to believe that US interest rates will
eventually have to increase, Fed core members
(Bernanke, Yellen, Dudley) are still dovish.
• Inflation is edging upwards on the back of fuel prices.
• However, the combination of the negative output gap
closing at a slow pace, very high unemployment and
the housing sector still in trouble suggests no hikes
are imminent.
• Outlook for US and EU equity markets is moderately
positive on the back of attractive valuations, while
valuations across EM look somewhat stretched.
4
The wheels of risk are turning - FX
• We expect the dollar to be weak against other
central currencies over the medium term, as
the Fed will remain one of the most dovish
central banks.
• We see room for Asia FX appreciation, but we
favor countries with high external growth beta
and C/A surpluses versus economies led by
domestic demand growth with C/A deficits.
5
Oil – A renewed challenge
• Energy price-induced slowdown of the global
economy is a justified concern.
• Every US recession since 1973 has been preceded or
coincided with a sharp oil price increase.
• Two important differences exist nowadays relative to
the 1970s, however:
– Monetary policy is extremely accommodative, allowing the
economy to better absorb an oil price shock.
– The energy share of the economy is lower than before;
household energy consumption currently at 9% of GDP versus
17% in the early 1970s.
6
Some simple US oil arithmetic
• WTI prices at USD100/barrel are consistent with retail
gasoline prices in the US at USD3.40/gallon.
• Every dollar increase in WTI price results in a
USD0.026 increase in gasoline prices, i.e. WTI price
should increase by USD38/barrel for gasoline prices
to rise by USD1/gallon.
• A USD1/gallon increase in gasoline prices leads to a
USD140bn “tax” on personal consumption per year.
• WTI prices averaged USD79.40/barrel in 2010. WTI at
USD110/barrel would offset the positive boost from
the payroll tax reduction announced at the end of last
year.

Oil spike: Winners and losers
• In general, EM fares better than DM during oil
spikes.
• In previous oil crises, increases of USD10/barrel
were associated with drops of 0.4% in DM growth
and 0.2% in EM growth.
• In the EM universe, countries likely to benefit
from higher oil prices include Colombia,
Kazakhstan, Russia and Venezuela.
• Countries such as Hungary, Israel, Turkey and
Ukraine will probably be net losers.

28
Argentina: Nervousness on the rise
Growth has remained strong, hovering around 9%, but policies are certainly unsustainable as state intervention prevents investment.
In the absence of stronger investment, expansionary policies simply push inflation up.
The government will have to eventually abandon the current policy setup as the exchange rate can not be the only tool to maintain stable (although very high) inflation. The peso is not yet overvalued but the pace of appreciation is too fast.
29
Argentina: Election and beyond
The outcome of the coming presidential election will determine the future policy path. Currently, the most likely scenario is re-election.
This could be positive if moderation is achieved. Otherwise, another round of massive capital flight is likely to occur, becoming the market-driven adjustment mechanism.
Fundamentals are strong but somewhat “for the wrong reasons”. Nonetheless, a marginal improvement in policies could make Argentina a solid performer for years.
30
Brazil: Lower growth, higher inflation?
• The real economy is on a deceleration phase and
will most likely grow below potential this year.
• Inflation expectations deteriorated sharply since
4Q10 but appear to have stabilized now, although
at relatively high levels.
• The Central Bank has made it clear that it will
tighten monetary policy at a slow, gradual pace,
complementing the hikes with „macro prudential‟
measures.
• The currency has appreciated the most among
EM peers but flows are still supportive.
31
Brazil: Necessary adjustment, sooner or later
• Annual inflation surpassed the ceiling of the band
in April for the first time since July 2005. Although
we expect it to decline towards year-end, it will
remain above the medium term 4.5% target for the
foreseeable future.
• Protracted high inflation is to impose political
costs on President Rouseff, which in turn could
elicit a more energetic policy response, although
probably not this year.
• Credit origination is decelerating after last year‟s
macro prudential measures, although slowly.
32
Chile: Less exciting but still exemplary
The pace of economic activity moderated during the last quarter but we
expect it will accelerate again in the coming months helped by the
consolidation of a global recovery path. The economy is vulnerable to
oil price shocks and energy bottlenecks, so developments there will
affect performance.
Inflationary pressures are becoming more evident amid a closing output
gap and a tight labor market. This notwithstanding, we project inflation
to be back within the CB range during 2012.
We expect the Central Bank to continue hiking interest rates although
conditioned to the tightening pace in the US. Intervention rates could go
up to 5.75%-6.00% within the next twelve months but the final position
will depend on global rates.
CLP has been trading in the low part of the expected range on the back
of strong domestic growth, elevated copper prices, and the expected
increase of rates differentials. Additionally, the CB seems to be less
worried about appreciation now. Volatile commodity prices, however,
remain a serious risk.
33
Colombia: A successful convergence play
• Recovery in economic activity picking up speed.
• Negative output gap to close during 2H11.
• Inflationary pressures building up on the back of
recovering domestic demand coupled with supply
side shock since 4Q10.
• BanRep on the initial phase of monetary tightening
cycle.
• Average annual headline inflation likely to increase
vis a vis 2010, although remaining within the upper
part of the target band.
• Colombia within a new “inflation regime”, with
equilibrium rates near target levels.
34
Colombia: A successful convergence play
• BanRep to normalize monetary policy gradually until
reaching short term real interest rates of some 250bp.
• BanRep to act slowly and preemptively amid global
market uncertainty.
• We expect target repo rate at 4.75% by Dec 2011, with
another 125bp worth of hikes in 2012.
• MinFin worried about currency appreciation, daily
dollar purchase strategy to continue along with dollar
deposits abroad.
• Chances are good for COP curve flattening, as
BanRep engages in tightening exercise and fears of
substantial inflation in the medium term recede.
35
Mexico: Recovery under way
• Initial phase of the recovery was led by exports.
• Growth is now more balanced, with exports,
domestic consumption and investment becoming
significant contributors.
• Negative output gap likely to close down during
2H11.
• GDP to grow by more than 4% this year. But is
that growth pace sustainable?
36
Mexico: Ties to the US
• Industrial production cycles closely related.
• Full commercial and financial integration of both
economies, with well over 80% of Mexican
exports sold in US markets.
• Gradual recovery in US economic activity
currently benefiting Mexico.
• Questions remain about the sustainability of the
US recovery and the possible convergence
towards lower average GDP growth rates.
• Comparative advantage points to energy complex
but constitutional barriers prevent private
participation in the sector.
37
Mexico: Inflation and interest rates
• After a spike during 4Q10, annual inflation has
edged downwards and it appears to be under
control.
• The current environment of high commodity prices,
however, poses challenges to the sustained
convergence towards medium term target levels.
• In addition, domestic demand is no longer
depressed, thus contributing to fuel inflation at the
margin.
• Banxico will probably stay on the sidelines this
year, but it remains vigilant and ready to hike since
the beginning of 2012.
38
Mexico: Currency dynamics
• The exchange rate suffered during 2008-09 as a
result of the deterioration in the US economic
outlook.
• MXN recovered gradually with the stabilization and
eventual improvement of expectations about US
growth.
• MXN currently responding to robust foreign capital
flows and more stable global outlook.
• Appreciation pressures to continue, so Banxico
unlikely to be able to reverse the trend. Policy
actions likely to be geared towards reducing
volatility and slowing down pace of appreciation.
39
Peru: Among the region‟s top growth performers
• We expect a very soft deceleration in the growth
pace, towards potential levels, during 2011-12.
• Average growth performance 2010-2012 likely to
remain at the top of LatAm.
• Inflation to remain well behaved (at or below
3%), on the back of expansion of productive
capacity and conservative monetary policy.
• PEN to remain well supported by financial and
especially strategic foreign investment. We
expect it to be near 2.70/USD by year-end.
40
Peru: The region‟s top growth performer
• The real economy is still operating above
potential, which suggests that Central Bank will
continue tightening the policy rate through year-
end and beyond.
• We expect target policy rate at 4.75% by Dec
2011, with further hikes in 2012 likely.
• Central Bank to continue intervening in the FX
market to avoid stronger currency appreciation.
• PEN curve to flatten both because of increase in
short end and compression in long end post
presidential elections, assuming expectations of
no change in policy regime.
41
Venezuela: Slow recovery amid high oil prices
• The real economy has been recovering since 2H10,
although at a slow pace. We expect GDP to expand by
at least 2% this year.
• Inflation is to remain at the highest levels in the
region, along with Argentina, because of supply
bottlenecks and very active fiscal spending.
• With oil prices hovering around USD100/barrel, the
current account surplus is likely to be at least
USD20bn this year.
• The robust supply of dollars from the trade account
suggests the authorities will fuel the demand for
imports via Cadivi and Sitme to reduce shortages,
especially ahead of next year‟s election.
42
Venezuela: Presidential election
• President Chavez still holds the upper hand to
win reelection next year.
• His popularity suffered last year but has been
recovering in 2011, because of the robust fiscal
transfers and the public approval of the handling
of the flooding emergency.
• The opposition is to do a good election if it lines
up behind a coalition candidate, although it is still
early to determine whether there will be such a
unanimous choice.

Risks to Fixed Income Positions
Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For
an investor that is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the
expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the
loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But
counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors),
changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and
settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instruments to macroeconomic
shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging
markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to
track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-
dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency
in which the coupons to be received are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to
the risks related to rates movements.

As a result of Deutsche Bank’s recent acquisition of BHF-Bank AG, a security may be covered by more than one analyst within the Deutsche Bank group. Each of these analysts may use differing methodologies to value the security; as a result, the recommendations may differ and the price targets and estimates of each may vary widely.
Deutsche Bank has instituted a new policy whereby analysts may choose not to set or maintain a target price of certain issuers under coverage with a Hold rating. In particular, this will typically occur for "Hold" rated stocks having a market cap smaller than most other companies in its sector or region. We believe that such policy will allow us to make best use of
our resources. Please visit our website at http://gm.db.com to determine the target price of any stock.
