7、 Non-residents share of Brazilian local public debt increased by 5%m/m this February.Inflows from non-residents amounted to BRL21.5bn(USD5.7bn),according to the latest data released by the Ministry of Finance.Our calculations suggest the current public debt exposure for nominal rates is USD60mn DV01
8、,and the monthly decay is USD1.8mn.Public debt exposure for real rates(inflation-linked bonds)is estimated at USD220mn DV01.We have updated our local macro fund positioning model,which suggests local macro hedge funds are still bullish on Brazilian assets,except for BRL,which is neutral.2 28 March 2
9、019 Non-residents share of total public debt increased slightly to 12.2%,representing 32%of international reserves(currently at USD378bn).Public debt duration According to our calculations,current public debt exposure to nominal rates is USD60mn DV01 and its monthly decay is USD1.8mn DV01(Fig.6).Nom
10、inal rate exposure is concentrated in the Jan-23,Jan-25 and Jan-27 bonds(Fig.5).Public debt exposure to real rates(inflation-linked bonds)is estimated at USD209mn DV01(Fig.7).The monthly decay for real rates is close to 0,given the high convexity of these bonds.Real rate exposure is concentrated in
11、the Aug-50 bond,with USD64.4mn DV01(Fig.8).Figs.5-8:Public debt exposure by maturity(USD DV01,mn)Sources:Bloomberg LLP,Brazils Ministry of Finance(Ministrio da Fazenda),BNP Paribas Maturity schedule for the next 12 months The next large maturity will be in April 2019 when BRL120bn of fixed-rate bond

13、al borrowing plan guidelines The BNT expects to maintain its long-term guidance for floating rate bonds to be replaced by fixed rate and inflation-linked instruments.In the short term,however,it expects to increase the share of LFTs(see:Brazils annual borrowing plan further drop in share of fixed-ra
14、te bonds,published on 30 January 2019).Brazils public debt last month continued to be in line with the guidelines of the 2018 annual borrowing plan and showed a stronger profile than the 2019 guidelines.0.00.31.21.62.05.01.44.10.84.04.33.410.09.410.12.5036912Apr-19Jul-19Oct-19Jan-20Apr-20Jul-20Oct-2

18、ed)LFT(Floating rate)LTN/NTN-F(Fixed rate)3 28 March 2019 The BNT expects convergence to 2019 guidelines to take place throughout the year.The metrics outside the goals are:the share of floating-rate bonds(lower than expected),the percentage of debt maturing in 12 months(lower than expected)and the
19、average maturity(higher than expected).The larger share of floating rate bonds will be the result of a small volume of LFTs maturing,rather than an increase in bond issuance.The average maturity(duration)of public debt previously decreased in the short term,after reaching its peak in 2015 due to the
20、 lower share of inflation linked bonds.The BNT expects a reversal of this trend if the process of fiscal consolidation accelerates.Figs.10-15:Annual borrowing plan guidelines Sources:Bloomberg LLP,Brazils Ministry of Finance(Ministrio da Fazenda),BNP Paribas Average cost of debt The cost of domestic
21、 debt has decreased due to:(1)the low monetary policy rate;and(2)the convergence of inflation and credit risk premium to lower levels.The latest average cost(12-month cumulative)released by Brazils Ministry of Finance was 9.32%.To get a better sense of the cost of domestic public debt in the next 12
22、 months,we used the official forecasts of BNP Paribas economists for IPCA inflation and the Selic rate,and our projections for USDBRL.We then factored these projections into the stock of LFTs,LTNs,NTN-Fs and NTN-Bs.The results suggest that the cost of domestic public debt will fall to 8.99%in Februa

27、ted our local macro fund positioning model,which suggests that local macro hedge funds are still bullish on all Brazilian assets.Allocations in Brazilian risk assets had peaked by the end of December last year,but remain near that level.Although there has been a decrease in long equity and long BRL
28、positions,overall local funds leverage index has remained at similar levels over Q1 2019(Figures 17-18),as DI receiver positions have increased in the last two months.The biggest highlight in our view for local fund positioning is the BRL position that is close to neutral.Funds have consistently red
29、uced their long BRL positions since February.From a broader perspective,according to our Latam FX position monitor,the overall market position in the Brazilian real is currently short BRL(please see:BNPP-EM FX positioning Latam and CEEMEA).Figs.17-20:Local funds technical positioning Sources:Bloombe
30、rg LLP,BNP Paribas To gauge Brazilian local funds risk asset allocation,we used optimisation tools to extract the drivers behind their average return.We chose 46 local macro funds,which together manage BRL125bn,as a way to proxy the domestic macro fund industrys performance.For a full explanation of
