Description

Recent years have witnessed not only a big expansion In the size of capital flows to emerging markets but also a great deal of volatility In those flows. This boom-bust pattern has been a disadvantage to both lenders and borrowers. The attempts to redesign the international financial architecture have already paid a great deal of attention to reforms that the borrowers need to make in order to curb the boom-bust cycle, but there has been far less attention paid to reforms that could and should be made by the lenders. This study seeks to redress the balance. It examines the different forms of capital flows and then suggests reforms that could be made, both by the lenders themselves and by the authorities that regulate them, to reduce the volatility in the flow of capital.
