The Management Of Capital Flows In Asia
The 1997 Asian financial crisis brought home to the region’s economies the importance of managing capital flows in order to avert financial shocks. This book looks into whether and how this lesson was taken on board by policy makers in Asia, and, accordingly, how capital account regimes in the region evolved in the post-crisis period.
The early years of the new millennium saw a strong surge of capital flows into Asian emerging markets amid conditions of ample global liquidity. In response to the influx of funds, these countries generally chose to keep their capital accounts open to inflows, dealing with the attendant impacts by liberalizing resident outflows and accumulating foreign exchange reserves. While this approach enabled them to avoid unsustainable currency appreciations and external deficits, it did not prevent the emergence of asset, credit and investment bubbles and domestic market vulnerability to external financial shocks – as the events following the 2007 subprime crisis would prove.
This book – a compilation of papers written in 2008 for the first phase of a Third World Network research project on financial policies in Asia – examines the above developments in relation to the region in general and to four major Asian developing economies: China, India,Malaysia and Thailand.
