– Investment-grade maturities peak at $240.9 billion in 2022, and much of this debt is from financial services companies.

– Issuers of speculative-grade debt have longer to refinance because these maturities do not peak until 2024, when $22.2 billion matures.

APAC Financing Costs| Improving Overall Conditions Could Hide Uneven Market Sentiment

4

Note: Data as of September 11, 2020. Source: S&P Global Ratings Research, Bloomberg-Barclays Indices. Spreads from FRED are secondary market pricing.

• Spreads continue to compress. The widespread support from major central banks continues to combine with a gradual economic recovery in most parts of the world to generate more calm in markets. As such, spreads have tightened further since June, with the region’s investment-grade segment having largely normalized as much as the U.S. market has. Speculative-grade spreads have also come in significantly, and are now just about half the levels seen at the peak of the COVID-19 crisis, though they remain slightly over 200bps higher than at the start of 2020.

• Risk-aversion persists, especially for speculative-grade issuers. Despite significantly tightened spreads on the secondary market, patterns in APAC primary market activity continue to signal relatively restricted access to capital markets for many speculative-grade firms. The overwhelming majority of the issuance in this segment this year has been from Chinese real estate firms, with the sectoral and geographic concentration suggesting that investors are still generally more cautious.

Equity Pricing• When the COVID-19 pandemic was blustering around March, markets saw markedly higher volatility, indicating much

weaker investor confidence. Subsequently, various central bank actions, such as asset purchase programs, increased liquidity and helped investor confidence recover gradually as some economies start to recover, among which Asia was the first but unevenly.

APAC Markets | Corporate Issuance

7

• 2020YTD Asia Pacific corporate bond issuance (including both financial and nonfinancial) is at its highest year-to-date volume, owing to large and fast fiscal and monetary stimulus by central banks.

• However, a bulk part of this total was local bond issuance by Chinese firms, reflecting the extraordinary support by the government, not only through easier financial conditions but also fiscal support through special project bonds.

• Most of these special project bonds were issued in March and April, at the height of the COVID-19 disruptions, as well as July and August’s “stimulus” during recovery phase.

Through August, 2020 issuance exceeds $1.3 trillion

Data as of Aug. 31, 2020. Source: S&P Global Ratings Research; Thomson Reuters.

(Bil. USD)

• In contrast to local bond issuance, foreign bond issuance by Asia Pacific firms has only recently recovered, bringing it back to about the same pace as 2019.

• Very low levels of activity in April offset the strong start to the year, after which issuance activity recovered to the 2018-2019 average pace.

• Geographically, the recovery has been uneven. China continues to account for most offshore borrowing in the region, followed by the larger developed markets. There has been much thinner activity from Emerging Asian entities.

Data as of September 20, 2020. Source: S&P Global Ratings

Riskiest issuers

• Roughly 41% of the APAC non-financial corporate spec-grade universe remains vulnerable to credit deterioration (i.e. spec-grade with negative outlook/CW negative). This is down from 44% in June. More importantly, the share of CW negative placements within this segment has fallen to 8% from 21% in June, suggesting less imminent risks of downgrades in the short term.

• Meanwhile, 52% of speculative-grade credits carry a stable rating, up from 47% last quarter.

• Within non-financial corporates, the majority of those poised for deterioration are in real estate and utilities (15 each), autos (13) and media/entertainment incl. lodging/leisure (9). Majority of these are on negative outlook as opposed to CW negative placements.

• Among the eight riskiest issuers (B- and below), there are no CW negative placements (compared to 2 of 9 in June).

Data as of Aug. 31, 2020. Source: S&P Global Ratings.

• With a lower ratings profile at the start of the current crisis, downgrade tallies are rapidly approaching levels seen during the Great Financial Crisis. Despite relatively fewer ratings actions compared to the rest of the world, APAC has seen triple the number of actions for 2020 YTD year-on-year, predominantly downgrades.

• Downgrades account for the vast majority of rating actions across geographies, with downgrade ratios exceeding other periods of stress.
