United Arab Emirates's bonds as US funds mark them in their filings (SEC Form N-PORT), by currency. Fund marks as of Jul 2026; they lag the market by about two months.

By currency

BondsMeasured againstCountSpread10-year spreadPriced-in 5y odds1-month changeMedian yieldHeld by US funds
USD Emerging markets, US-dollar bonds vs US Treasuries46 61 bp 56 bp4.9% +16 bp5.10% $406.3M
EUR Euro bonds of non-euro countries vs German Bunds2 n/a —— —— $8.4M

Priced-in odds = spread ÷ (1 − 40% recovery) over five years; it includes a risk premium and overstates actual defaults. Own-currency bonds get a yield and no odds: a government can print its own currency.
