Debt and Financialisation in Emerging Capitalist Economics: the Case of Brazil and Turkey Annina Kaltenbrunner, Leeds University Business School a.kaltenbrunner@leeds.ac.uk Elif Karacimen, Rize University elifkaracimen@gmail.com
Motivation Research Project Financialisation of non-financial corporation in emerging capitalist economies - ECEs (Brazil and Turkey) What are the manifestations, drivers and implications of financialisation in ECEs? How and why does financialisation in ECEs differ from that in core capitalist economies? How and why do financialisation phenomena differ among ECEs?
Main Argument Financialisation in ECEs fundamentally shaped by integration in world economy Integration takes subordinated and hierarchic character (Painceira, 2011; Powell, 2013) - National manifestations shaped by spatial and institutional conditions and relations of production Symbiotic relation between finance and production (Kaltenbrunner and Karacimen, 2016) >>> This presentation: financialisation and the internationalisation of production
Outline Literature The financialisation of non-financial corporations in Brazil and Turkey The internationalisation of production and subordinated financialisation Aggregate data, annual reports, interviews
Literature Financialisation: Changes in the financial relations, practices and behaviour of key economic agents Non-financial corporations: shift from bank to market financing; increased payments to financial markets; holding of financial assets (shareholder value) Little systematic analysis of NFCs financialisation in ECEs Little analysis of the relation between financialisation and internationalisation Offshoring to meet shareholder demands (Milberg, 2008; Baud and Durand, 2012) Core Capitalist Economies Do not consider symbiotic relation between finance and production Some literature which points to role of internationalisation and subordinated financialisation (e.g. Lapavitsas, 2009; Painceira, 2011; Powell, 2013) Economic Geography: Need to understand how financial practices affect configuration and governance of international production (global value chains) and vice versa
The Financialisation of Non- Financial Corporations in Brazil and Turkey Large increase in debt External debt (foreign holdings and foreign currency) Bank vs. markets Onshore vs. offshore Intercompany loans Rise in stock market funding High foreign participation Increase in interest rate and dividend payments Increase in liquid asset holdings Cash/bank deposits vs. short-term financial assets Derivatives Large firms (bifurcation in company sector and structure of capital accumulation)

Internationalisation and Subordinated Financialisation Financial liberalisation and integration > availability of financial instruments Higher exchange rate and capital volatility (macroeconomic uncertainty) > hedge vs. speculation; funding ability (short-term) More vulnerable to changes in the world economy > Changes in Asset Management Financialisation and the Internationalisation of Production Surge in outward investment ECE TNCs global players (global leaders) Integration into global value chains Interviews (Brazil) August 2012 and 2014 Vale, JBS, Petrobras, Gerdau, M.Dias.

The Internationalisation of Production and Subordinated Financialisation Internationalisation to become global players which allow stock price increase and ability to leverage (Hiratuka and Sarti, 2011) and vice versa (Palpacuer, 2005) Domestic consolidation and centralisation of capital Internationalisation to gain access to cheaper/flexible funds Natural hedge Financial practices crucial factor for international competitiveness Cost of funding (offshore centres; interest rates) Cash for Mergers & Acquisitions Long-term confidence with major institutional investors to acquire large funds
The Internationalisation of Production and Subordinated Financialisation Foreign currency (US$) Exchange rate risk Hedge (financial assets; derivatives)> Speculation Natural hedge? On international markets Under international law Products managed by core country banks Higher share of foreign investors Dependence on international market conditions More demanding? Carry trade and exchange rate volatility Equity vs. Bond Issuance
