Quantity-based measures key to improving corporate bond market liquidity in EMEs
The article examines how to measure the liquidity of corporate bonds in emerging markets. They looked at different ways to measure liquidity and found that quantity-based measures are better at showing differences in bond liquidity than price-based measures. The study focused on corporate bonds in Malaysia from 1997 to 2017 and found that these bonds are generally not very liquid. The research suggests that quantity-based measures are more suitable for understanding bond liquidity in emerging markets, and highlights the importance of accurately measuring liquidity for traders and policymakers.
