    Course Description

    Capital account liberalization brings direct and indirect benefits to recipient economies But large capital inflows or reversals lead to volatile exchange rate movements, asset price fluctuations and large risk exposures. These complicate the conduct of monetary policy and could harm financial stability. The more economies become integrated with global financial markets, the more appropriate the framework and policy design for sequencing capital account liberalization and managing volatile capital flows must be. This course provides practical knowledge in understanding the benefits and risk exposures using the inter relationships between external accounts data, including Balance of Payments Statistics, International Investment Position, International Banking Statistics and other indicators. In addition, topical discussions include the institutional framework for dealing with capital flows, sequencing capital account liberalization and the effectiveness of capital flows management measures.
