On this episode of Disruptive Forces , Anu Rajakumar speaks with Kaan Nazli , Senior Economist and Portfolio Manager on our Emerging Market Debt team to provide his perspectives on recent market events as it relates to the sector, and opportunities created by the macrodynamic shifts in today's developing markets.
