Extended read
A significant trend in global trade is the 'China+1' strategy, where companies diversify their manufacturing bases away from China. This is leading to increased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into emerging market economies, particularly in sectors like electronics, automotive, and general industrials. Supporting this shift are explicit industrial policies in the United States and European Union designed to incentivize the creation of alternative supply chains. Persistent tariff and non-tariff barriers between major economies and China further accelerate this reallocation, creating structural tailwinds for certain EM equities.
