This working paper shows how deviations in uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) decrease as local currency bond markets develop and the presence of nonbank financial institutions expands.

Analyzing the period from 1996-2022, it draws on market data from 11 advanced economies including Japan and the United Kingdom, and eight emerging market economies such as India and Thailand. Assessing the growth of nonbank financial institutions alongside the role of foreign investors in local currency bond markets, it shows how UIP premium patterns in emerging market economies merge with those in advanced economies.
