17 ►1. The United States flirts with but narrowly escapes recession. ►2. The United States faces a mild recession with manageable global costs. ►3. The United States suffers a typical recession with serious global costs. ►4. The United States enters a severe recession precipitating global slowdown. ►The United States leads the world into a protracted deflation (un-quantified). What matters for the global economy and markets, especially EM, is not whether the US enters technical recession, but how far, how fast, and for how long the US slows, and how this flows through the rest of the world. We model the path of the US, G10 and EM economies along the above four scenarios combining judgement and models Our scenarios and view that the joint probability of a severe recession or deflation is 15% or less reflect the political-economy of the United States. The federal democracy, where all politics is local, abhors a recession just as nature abhors a vacuum – it is driven by rules, checks and balances, states’ rights, and the interplay between executive branch and legislature. Labour markets, economy and financial system are highly flexible and responsive. Fed policy is subordinated to the triple mandate – price stability, full employment, modest long-term interest rates. Therefore, the Fed and the Treasury will do all they can to forestall or mitigate a recession, short of stoking high inflation. And so, we consider a slowdown with no recession; a mild recession, a “normal” recession, and a severe recession – all modelled on recent history. But we do not consider a 1930s- or Japan-style lost decade or depression with a protracted deflation. The United States is not Japan, nor are the 2000s the 1930s… but if such were to materialise, all bets would be off. What if?

19 ►Dividing our World in Three: ►1. “G7 or G10” – high per-capita income, mature political systems, economies, financial markets: ►Unquestioned, continuous access to voluntary financing, based on policy credibility … ►High levels of savings, though with varied savings rates. Large, deep, liquid financial markets, with financial development driven by innovation. ►2. “EM countries” – mostly middle-income, high-growth, evolving political, economic, financial systems ►Still some risk of loss of access to voluntary capital markets, requiring occasional IMF programs (we hope) … ►Moderate to high levels of savings with varied savings rates. Experiencing fast financial deepening, largely adapting existing techniques to country-specific conditions. However, imbalances and inflation risks can disrupt markets. ► 3. “Developing countries” – low-income, still at risk of revolutionary political, economic, financial change: ►Limited access to voluntary capital markets; regular borrowers from IFIs; Paris Club governments. ►Movement across the 3 is a major global change, but cross-border flows are continuous and two-way: ►Private capital flows, of financial, technological, human/intellectual or luxury goods dominate the G7 to EM direction. Goods, services, people, and official financial flows dominate the EM to G7 direction. ►G7/G10 economic agents take EM exposure to acquire portable/portfolio alpha and/or beta. ►South Korea, new EU members are still in #2 “EM.” Though income is high and rising, markets are still evolving. ►New EU members will join #1 on EMU entry, acquiring major currency capital markets, bank reserves, and fiscal revenue, as well as policy credibility.

27 Strategy: USD/TRY – Potential to reach USD/TRY 1.40 in coming months Global risk outlook does not favour the lira... ►Global risk appetite has improved in recent weeks but we caution that there are risks to come from the corporate sector and the real economy as well as the eventual impact of the US slowdown on growth in the Eurozone and emerging markets. ►The lira remains among the highest beta currencies in emerging markets (see later slide) and therefore among the most likely to weaken on any renewed downturn in global risk appetite. ►We expect the current account deficit to remain around 6% of GDP but this was less of an issue in 2007 given that 50% of the deficit was funded by FDI. This proportion could fall to 30% or lower this year increasing the vulnerability of the lira to any deterioration in the global risk environment. ►Turkey, in particular, has strong economic linkages with the Eurozone which is also a source of FDI and will therefore likely be impacted by the coming slowdown. Empirically we also find that the lira weakens versus USD when the EUR weakens (see later chart). We forecast EUR/USD 1.40 by end ►Turkey has among the highest policy rates among major emerging currency markets which we expect to help reduce the possibility of a significant lira depreciation. In 2006 the lira briefly fell to USD/TRY 1.70, but policy rates at that time were 13.25% compared with the current 15.25%. ►The long TRY vs short ZAR trade has been popular among emerging currency investors this year as a positive carry trade that provides some protection against the global risks that can hit currencies of countries with current account deficits. Positioning in this trade can provide some support for the lira. ►When considered on a purely risk adjusted basis – 3 month implied rates versus 3 month implied volatility - see later charts, we find that the lira is among the most attractive emerging currencies, again limiting extent of depreciation. ►We believe, however, that the current account deficit will result in a medium term depreciation trend while domestic politics presents a short term risk factor. ►In politics we expect tension in the AKP-secularist standoff to remain at an elevated level in the coming months. While worst case scenarios such as party closure may be avoided we caution that the combination of negative news flow, market pricing of extreme scenarios and the resulting stagnation of the reform process increases the near term vulnerability of the lira. Turkey in 2008 and beyond: Looking for a bounce... and domestic politics presents a near term risk

28 Short USD/TRY remains relatively attractive on a risk adjusted basis Risk adjusted returns Deficit currencies – return vs riskSurplus currencies – return vs risk Source: Dresdner Kleinwort Research ►Implied volatility has risen across all emerging currencies and in many cases increasing inflation risks have also resulted in higher short dated rates. ►We note, however, that in general rates have increased relatively more than implied volatility in currencies of countries with a current account surplus when compared with those of deficit countries. ►In the case of USD/TRY return versus risk has been on a declining trend over the past year, although has ticked up in recent weeks on heightened rate hike expectation. ►We consider here risk adjusted return as the ratio of 3 month implied FX yield to 3 month implied FX volatility. ►We find that despite the decline over the past year the expected return for a given level of risk for a short USD/TRY position remains the highest for any emerging currency. ►Whilst there are clearly many other factors to consider beyond simply implied risk adjusted returns, we believe that the attractiveness of short USD/TRY on this measure can help support the lira, relative to other vulnerable emerging currencies.

30 Turkey - CDS and USD/TRY are still correlated Short USD/TRY versus buying CDS protection? ►We have previously recommended sovereign CDS as a hedge for FX positions - selling USD/TRY vs buying protection - both asset classes have often proved similarly vulnerable during periods of market disruption and the net short USD/TRY, long CDS position has historically had a positive carry. ►In our view, the major macro economic risk factors for Turkish markets are little changed in recent years, in so far as the following - ►Turkey remains a net external borrower so sovereign CDS spreads are generally more vulnerable than in markets with similar credit ratings where sovereigns are reducing net external debt. ►The persistent current account deficit suggests a medium term depreciation trend for the lira and it is therefore vulnerable when markets differentiate between the currencies of surplus and deficit countries. ►The lira and CDS have historically both been high beta compared with peers making them vulnerable to global and domestic news flow.

EM FX index weights ►We calculate an index of emerging currencies. Our objective is to recognise the large and liquid markets that are important to EM FX investors without overweighting countries purely on the basis of large GDP, share of trade or large equity market cap. ►We allocate a maximum weight of 8% for major emerging currencies, 4% for second tier currencies and 0.2% for peripheral currencies with limited liquidity and small market size.

This could be achieved consistently across G3 via a non-G3 cross rate such as CHF although in practice we use suitable random variable to eliminate individual currency bias. ►In the case of the lira we highlight not only the high beta status relative to G3 currency moves but specifically the dependency of TRY on EUR – the TRY is empirically among the most vulnerable currencies to a weaker EUR. ►For example, changes in G3/CHF (referred to as Δ [USD/CHF] etc.) have on average over the past 3 months been associated with changes in TRY/CHF in proportions: ►Δ [TRY/CHF] = 0.92 x Δ [USD/CHF] x Δ [EUR/CHF] x Δ [JPY/CHF] Interpretation of EM FX vs G3 betas

34 Turkey – Local fixed income still the long term convergence trade Inflation remains a risk in the coming months CPI has not yet decisively peakedInflation still surprising on the upside Source: Dresdner Kleinwort Research Turkey in 2008 and beyond: Looking for a bounce ►CPI inflation remains well above the long term 4% Central Bank target range and has not yet decisively resumed a downward path following the inflationary impact of the mid-2006 lira depreciation exacerbated by rising food and energy prices. ►We note, however, that inflation (CPI and PPI) has consistently surprised on the upside versus consensus forecasts in recent months raising concern that policy rates may have to increased before being cut. In any event, we expect the resumption of the easing cycle to be at least 3-6 months away and then only for rates to be cut gradually at first. Long term convergence trade ►The charts on the following page illustrate the local fixed income curve illustrating that over the past few months long dated rates have risen close to 2006 highs and that the curve is significantly less inverted than it has been in the past. ►We calculate, for example, that the local bond curve is implying 3 month T-bill yields still to be around 17% in 4-5 year’s time, close to current levels. ►In our view, the rates convergence trade remains a trade for later in 2008 and we expect to see dramatic curve inversion once the timing of aggressive rate cuts becomes more certain.

36 EM Credit Strategy - Global In 2007, fundamentals have taken the back seat … Deficit countries and oil importers outperformed …… on demand for their high yielding local debt Source: Dresdner Kleinwort Research ►The deficit countries (Turkey, South Africa) have outperformed surplus countries (Russia, Argentina) in the year when global liquidity crisis shook the globe and (at least in theory) made it harder for sovereigns to finance deficits. ►Oil importers (South Africa, Turkey) outperformed oil exporters (Russia, Kazakhstan, Venezuela) in a year when oil prices have risen by more than 60% briefly touching US$100 mark in January ►External debt of the deficit countries with high-yielding local markets (Turkey and South Africa) had outperformed due to indirect support from the rotation of client funds from EM hard currency funds to EM local currency funds ►CDS of the sovereigns with developed corporate bond markets (Russia, Kazakhstan) underperformed as investors were using relatively liquid sovereign CDS to hedge their corporate debt exposure. Turkey in 2008 and beyond: Looking for a bounce … as spreads were driven by technical factors

37 EM Credit Strategy - Global We continue to recommend Marketweight in EM credit: both sovereign and corporate ►We believe that the time for “it’s always darkest before dawn” opportunity to buy EM credit as an asset class has not come yet, but is closer than many investors think. ►The bailout of Bear Stearns creditors by the US Fed indicates that the worst in the systemic financial institutions’ liquidity crisis is behind us… ►… but the US recession (or near-recession) is still on the cards. The access to credit for households and corporates is likely to remain restrictive and, combined with high commodity prices, is putting further pressure on consumer spending. In turn, weak corporate results and rising US corporate default rates are likely to result in further widening of the US credit spreads… ►… but the bulk of EM credit universe comes from larger, commodity-exporting EM countries which are insulated by their high reserves and low debt, and fundamentally are better able to weather the US/EU slowdown. Consequently, since the beginning of the year, EM credit spreads have been less volatile than US corporate spreads ►We expect at least some of the misallocations of the “if you can’t sell what you want, you sell what you can” era to correct as a result of relative stability of spreads and renewed investor’s appetite. ►The success of the new Gazprom issue demonstrated that there is an ample demand for EM assets provided that the price is right. Moreover, subsequent tightening of Gazprom’s secondary market spreads showed that investors are often overcompensated for the supply risk. ►We expect this to trigger convergence between CIS and LATAM corporate spreads over time as the concerns about new supply were among the primary factors leading to underperformance of CIS corporates relative to their Latin America peers.

Incentive programs to align shareholder/management interests like stock options are a technique to achieve greater efficiency and returns for the shareholders – not to change this precedence of stakeholder claims. The choice of financing the G7 firm by debt or equity is not a systematic choice about equity or credit risk premium, but a name- or sector-specific choice. ►The state and the owner-managers of EM conglomerate/blue chips are often one and the same, or closely connected, contributing to episodes of privatisation and nationalisation, along with widespread fundamental information asymmetries. ►Shareholders are not created equal, nor are they equitably treated, nor do they all come at the back of the cue. In state-owned firms, the budget often takes out the upside in the form of dividends or windfall taxes, and often cushions the cost of bad decisions by hiding or socialising costs and losses in the budget. Similarly in majority-shareholder dominated and managed private conglomerates. Minority public equity holdings come at the back of the cue. Private equity is varied. Corporate credit and equity risk premia are therefore far apart, and equity becomes a viable option for financing the EM firm as the firm or country evolves. In the main, EM corporate credit and strategic equity/joint ventures or green-field/privatisation FDI dominate EM financing and technology transfer, rather than public equity.
