It shows, how vulnerable emerging market and companies are not just only to slow down or commodities' decline but also to corruption scandal at large. To remind you, Malaysian Prime Minister facing similar situation over 1MDB.

These weakness, even if recovers from here likely to make a dent in advanced economies and hence the spiral of weakness back again.
European Central Bank (ECB) is considering emerging market weakness to be Europe's top vulnerability and according to ECB forecast, emerging markets' GDP on an average to shrank more than 2% in worst case scenario and -0.7% under best case.
