This article presents an analysis of the sovereign risk pricing in emerging markets. Analyzing pricing of sovereign risk is important for bond portfolio management, risk management and regulation of financial institutions. The difficulty in analyzing sovereign spreads is how to distinguish between risk and the pricing of risk as financial compensation demanded by investors for bearing sovereign default risk.
