Rich mentioned you are looking at Turkey and Saudi.<=:p>
1 year Turkish Lira forwards are implying local inte=est rates around 29.30%. Could be a good way to play it.
Also we could do total return swaps on Saudi or Turk=sh indices. Better liquidity than the ETFs.

Summary of some options when ready:
• Brazil local currency bond prices have been very stable. Most of the =ove has been in USDBRL. Best Option —
Brazil 12.5% 2022 @7% YTM denom in BRL (vs lyr F= forward implying 6.9%)
• Russian RUB govt bonds down 2=points. Mainly a RUB move. Best Option - Russia 6.4% 5/27/2020 @ 7.45% YTM
denom in RUB (vs lyr=FX forward implying 7.06%)
• Turkey TRY denominated gov= bonds down 10 points since last week and 36 points since April (63 price)=
Yielding 21%. I prefer using a 1yr TRY forward which equates to a 27% yie=d and not worry about illiquidity in their bond
market.
