Asian emerging market local bonds offer lower yields than Latin American or Eastern European peers, but the region's stability, reforms and shock resilience are boosting its appeal for global investors.

With yields elevated, currencies stabilising and liquidity improving, Asian local currency bonds are drawing greater attention as investors diversify away from dollar assets.

Despite fiscal strains in developed markets, Asian investors continue to favour sovereign debt. Managers say allocations remain stable, though yield dynamics and sector fundamentals show where flows could shift if preferences change.
