This paper explores bond-level, issuer-level, and macro-level conditions that affect the distance between sovereign credit rating and sub-sovereign debt ratings. Over three-quarters of rated foreign-currency sub-sovereign bonds issued during 1990–2013 in 47 emerging and developing countries were rated at or below the corresponding sovereign rating, thus confirming the prevalence of a sovereign ceiling. For bonds rated below the sovereign ceiling, a Tobit regression shows strong sovereign-corporate links for financial firms, publicly-owned firms, and local government entities. International bonds tend to be rated closer to the sovereign rating during riskier global financial conditions. Well-developed domestic financial markets also tend to be related to a smaller distance, likely because of stronger macro-financial links for financial issuers. About 11 to 26 percent of the bonds had ratings higher than the sovereign rating, which was achieved mainly through securitization structures. This observation is confirmed using a double-hurdle estimation that accounts for bond and firm characteristics and macroeconomic conditions. The sovereign-corporate rating relationship became significantly stronger at the peak period of the 2008-09 global financial crisis, and appears to have weakened in the subsequent years.

A joint effort led by the African Development Bank and the World Bank, 'Leveraging Migration for Africa' is the first comprehensive publication on harnessing migration, remittances, and other diaspora resources for the development of Africa. It comes at a time when countries in Africa and elsewhere are grappling with difficult choices on how to manage migration.Policy makers can help leverage the contributions of migrants to the development of Africa, reduceremittance costs, improve the efficiency of remittance markets in both origin and destination countries, and address the needs of the origin countries without restricting the emigration of high-skilled professionals. Innovative financing mechanisms such as issuance of diaspora bonds and securitization of future remittance flows can help finance big-ticket projects, such as railways, roads, power plants, and institutions of higher learning that will, step by step, help to transform Africa. This volume contributes to a greater understanding of migration and its potential role in Africa?s development.
