The concept of impossible trinity in Macro-Economics, Course handled by Prof. Rudra Sen Sarma, IIM Kozhikode. Presented for an introduction into Macro Economics concepts
This document discusses the impossible trinity, which is the hypothesis that it is impossible for a country to have free capital flow, a fixed exchange rate, and an independent monetary policy simultaneously. It explains each of the three factors - free capital flow, fixed exchange rate, and independent monetary policy - and provides examples. The document then discusses India's policy approach and how it has opted to allow free capital flow and a floating exchange rate while prioritizing independent monetary policy. It concludes that there is no perfect solution and countries must choose based on their priorities and circumstances.
Relation between interest and exchange rateUtkarsh Shivam
This document summarizes a macroeconomics project on the relationship between inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates. It defines key terms like foreign exchange markets, exchange rates, and interest rate parity theory. It then discusses theories of interest rate parity, purchasing power parity, and the balance of payments. Case studies on Albania and Kenya analyze the relationship between domestic interest rates and currency exchange rates. The impact on the Indian economy and future policy suggestions are also covered.
The document provides an overview of the foreign exchange market and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) role in managing it. It discusses the basic concepts and participants in the FX market. It describes the historical evolution from a fixed exchange rate regime to a more liberalized and market-based system. It also outlines the RBI's tools for intervening in the interbank market to influence exchange rates and maintain stability, including through moral suasion, relaxing exposure limits, and direct buying and selling of currencies.
Monetary policy is formulated by central banks to control money supply and achieve macroeconomic stability. The document discusses the objectives, instruments, and limitations of monetary policy. It explains that central banks use quantitative methods like bank rates, reserve ratios, and open market operations as well as qualitative methods like regulating consumer credit to influence money supply during inflationary and recessionary periods. However, monetary policy is not always effective due to factors such as an underdeveloped financial system, money not being borrowed from banks, and interest rates sometimes having unintended impacts.

This paper develops an equilibrium model of the determination of exchange rates and prices of goods. Changes in relative prices due to supply or demand shifts induce changes in exchange rates and deviations from purchasing power parity. These changes may create a correlation between the exchange rate and the terms of trade, but this correlation cannot be exploited by governments to affect the terms of trade through foreign exchange market operations. The model emphasizes the role of relative price changes due to real disturbances and how these changes affect both exchange rates and the terms of trade through shifts in supply and demand. Government interventions in foreign exchange markets cannot influence exchange rates if the relationship between exchange rates and terms of trade is due to shifts in real supply and demand for domestic and foreign goods.
This document discusses the theory of purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP states that exchange rates should adjust so that a currency can buy the same amount of goods and services in all countries. It is based on the law of one price, which says that goods must sell for the same price globally after accounting for exchange rates. The nominal exchange rate between two currencies should reflect differences in their price levels. Limitations of PPP include the fact that not all goods trade globally and tradable goods from different countries are not always perfect substitutes.
This document discusses factors that affect foreign exchange rates, including relative inflation rates between countries, interest rates, international trade balances, foreign currency supply, and net international reserves of a country. Floating and managed exchange rate regimes are also covered. The author predicts that the Egyptian pound will face challenges maintaining its value against the US dollar in 2009 due to declining factors like international reserves and an increasing trade deficit, and may depreciate to reach 6 Egyptian pounds per US dollar by the end of the year.

ARGUMENTS FOR FIXED AND FLUCTUATING EXCHANGE RATESKunthavai ..
This document discusses the merits and demerits of fixed and flexible exchange rates. Fixed exchange rates involve exchange transactions occurring at a rate set by the central bank. This provides predictability but requires large foreign currency reserves and exchange controls. Flexible rates are set by supply and demand, automatically addressing balance of payments issues but causing uncertainty through speculation and fluctuations. In conclusion, governments often use fixed rates which require balance of payments adjustments through policy measures.
Monetary policy involves controlling the supply of money and interest rates to achieve economic goals like price stability and growth. The monetary authority, such as a central bank, uses various tools to influence factors such as inflation, employment, and economic output. Expansionary policy increases the money supply to boost the economy during recessions, while contractionary policy decreases the supply to curb inflation. In India, the Reserve Bank of India pursues monetary policy goals like price stability through instruments affecting bank reserves, lending rates, and money circulation.
This document discusses business and trade cycles. It provides three main theories for the causes of trade cycles:
1. Schumpeter's innovation theory which argues that business cycles are caused by periodic bursts of innovation by capitalists. This leads to periods of boom and recession as innovations are adopted.
2. Samuelson's multiplier-accelerator theory which explains how interactions between consumption, investment, and income can cause fluctuations in economic activity through feedback loops.
3. Hicks' theory which views trade cycles as temporary deviations around an economy's steady growth path. It analyzes how increases in autonomous investment can trigger boom-bust cycles through multiplier and accelerator effects.
All three theories attempt to explain the regular patterns of
The document discusses the origin and development of the European Monetary System (EMS) and the later introduction of the Euro. It describes how the EMS was established in 1972 to link European currencies and stabilize exchange rates. The Exchange Rate Mechanism formalized central rates for currencies within prescribed margins. The goals were greater stability and economic convergence. However, the EMS collapsed in 1992-1993 due to currency crises forcing rates outside margins. The Maastricht Treaty established the Euro and steps to economic and monetary union, including establishing the European Central Bank and requiring member states to meet fiscal and debt criteria. The Euro was officially launched in 1999 among 11 initial members.
The document summarizes the International Monetary Fund (IMF), including its creation, mandate, functions, governance, and lending policies. The IMF was established in 1944 at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference to promote international monetary cooperation and stability. It monitors global economic and financial conditions and provides loans to countries experiencing economic difficulties. The IMF is governed by its 185 member countries and aims to foster global economic growth, employment, and trade.
The document defines foreign exchange rates as the price at which one currency can be converted into another. It discusses the history of currencies, including bartering systems and the introduction of coins and paper money in India. The document also examines the devaluation of the Indian rupee in the 1970s due to various economic and political factors. Additionally, it describes the differences between fixed and floating exchange rate systems and various factors that influence exchange rates such as inflation rates, interest rates, and political stability.
Monetary policy aims to control money supply and interest rates to achieve objectives like price stability and economic growth. In India, the Reserve Bank of India implements monetary policy through tools like open market operations, cash reserve ratio, statutory liquidity ratio, and bank rate policy. The objectives of monetary policy include price stability, controlled expansion of bank credit, and promotion of exports. However, monetary policy faces limitations like time lags, difficulties in forecasting, and the growth of non-banking financial institutions.
This document provides an overview of the foreign exchange market. It begins with definitions, including that the foreign exchange market is where trading of currencies takes place through electronic media. It then discusses the history and evolution of currency exchange systems. It also outlines different exchange rate systems countries use and why investors choose the foreign exchange market. The document discusses advantages and disadvantages, characteristics, financial instruments, functions, types of exchange rates, factors affecting exchange rates, participants, and types of foreign exchange risk.
Central banks hold foreign exchange reserves in different currencies to maintain the external value of their domestic currency and reduce the impact of economic problems. Foreign exchange reserves became popular after the decline of the gold standard as countries used them through central banks to stabilize exchange rates. Central banks can impact foreign exchange reserves through currency issuance, import/export restrictions, currency value fluctuations, and transferring reserves without affecting domestic currency value. The top foreign exchange reserve holdings are in US dollars, pounds, yen, francs, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and euros. Foreign exchange reserves boost confidence, help overcome economic crises, aid currency market control and stabilization, and indicate debt repayment ability and credit ratings. As of now, Pakistan holds $8.4
Meeting 3 - Rybczynski theorem (International Economics)Albina Gaisina
The document discusses several economic concepts:
1) The Rybczynski theorem explains that if a country's supply of one factor increases, it will produce more of the good that intensively uses that factor and less of the other good.
2) Dutch disease refers to an economic phenomenon where resource discovery leads to decline of other sectors through currency appreciation and a shift in economic activity.
3) The resource curse or paradox of plenty suggests that countries with an abundance of natural resources tend to have less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources, due to issues like overdependence on commodity exports and weak institutions.
International business finance Foreign Exchange MarketsMeghna Baid
This study examines factors that influence consumers' intentions to purchase foreign exchange products online. It analyzes how internet usage, website content, context, infrastructure, and trust impact purchase intention. The results show that trust in brokers and the market, positive website context design, and reliable infrastructure positively correlate with purchase intention. Website content was found to have less influence. Overall, the study aims to help foreign exchange companies better understand what drives online purchasing and loyalty in order to improve their services and attract more investors.

Significance of Monetary policy?
This document summarizes key concepts from a chapter on stabilization policy. It discusses debates around whether the government should take an active or passive role in stabilizing the economy. It also examines criticisms of discretionary policy and arguments for rule-based policy. The document defines important terms like inside and outside lags, automatic stabilizers, leading indicators, the Lucas Critique, political business cycles, time inconsistency, and monetarism.
The Federal Reserve uses three main tools to implement monetary policy: open market operations, the reserve ratio, and the discount rate. Open market operations, which involve buying and selling Treasury securities, are the most important tool as they directly change the amount of bank reserves and money supply. The Fed conducts expansionary policy by buying Treasury securities to increase bank reserves and money supply, while contractionary policy involves selling securities to decrease reserves and money supply. The reserve ratio and discount rate can also expand or contract the money supply but are used less due to their greater impact.
Fiscal policy is the means by which a government adjusts its spending levels and tax rates to influence a nation's economy. The key components of fiscal policy are taxation policy, public expenditure policy, public debt policy, and deficit financing. In India, the objectives of fiscal policy include mobilizing resources for economic development, increasing investment and savings, reducing poverty and inequality, and generating employment. While fiscal policy has contributed to India's capital formation and development, it also faces limitations such as a weak policymaking machinery, political influences, and a high interest burden from public debt. Reforms are needed to improve fiscal policy, including rationalizing the tax structure.
This document provides an overview of monetary policy, including its definition, objectives, tools, and role in economic growth. Monetary policy is defined as the process by which a central bank controls the supply of money in an economy, often targeting interest rates to promote growth and stability. The major objectives of monetary policy are price stability, economic growth, and stable exchange rates. The key tools of monetary policy are open market operations, bank rates, cash reserve ratios, and credit controls. Monetary policy aims to influence aggregate demand and output through expanding or contracting the money supply.
Chapter 07_Central Banking and the Conduct of Monetary PolicyRusman Mukhlis
The document discusses the structure and operations of central banks, focusing on the U.S. Federal Reserve System. It describes the origins of the Fed following financial panics in the 19th century. The structure of the Fed involves 12 regional banks, a Board of Governors, and the Federal Open Market Committee. Central bank independence and its relationship to macroeconomic performance is also examined.
The document discusses exchange rate mechanisms and types of exchange rates. It provides details about:
1) The Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) which is used by central banks to manage currency exchange rates relative to other currencies through fixed or floating exchange rates.
2) The notable European ERM introduced in 1979 to reduce exchange rate variability between European countries before adopting a single currency. It faced issues in 1992 when Britain withdrew.
3) Types of exchange rates including fixed rates which maintain stable rates, floating rates set by market forces, and managed floats where governments influence rate changes.
This document discusses the causes, measures, and effects of inflation. It defines inflation as a sustained increase in price levels over time. Inflation can be caused by factors that increase demand, like rising incomes or government spending, or restrict supply, like shortages or natural disasters. Measures to control inflation include monetary policies that reduce the money supply, fiscal policies like tax increases, and other policies like price controls or rationing. Inflation affects different groups in different ways - it can help debtors but hurt creditors or people on fixed incomes. The Phillips Curve model shows an inverse relationship between unemployment and wage inflation rates.
This document provides an overview of All Star Financial, an independent fee-only financial advisory firm. It discusses the firm's services, investment philosophy, and approach to managing client portfolios. Key points include:
1. All Star Financial provides personal and corporate financial planning, investment management, and tax services. They manage client assets using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and bonds.
2. The firm's investment approach focuses on reducing risk and volatility through strategic asset allocation and diversification. They emphasize keeping what you earn over maximizing returns.
3. Examples from past economic cycles and market downturns illustrate why diversification and staying the course are important strategies during volatile periods. Panicking and making

The document discusses the negative impacts of financial globalization, including speculation and economic crises. It provides examples of past financial crises like the Panic of 1907, Wall Street Crash of 1929, and Great Depression that were exacerbated by financial globalization. More recently, the US subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 spread globally and impacted India by lowering its GDP growth. The document argues that financial globalization increases a country's vulnerability to economic shocks and allows for illegal activities like black money and hawala transactions. Overall, it presents financial globalization as having more disadvantages than advantages.
The document summarizes the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. It began in Thailand due to a real estate bubble fueled by foreign capital inflows. When the US raised interest rates, capital fled Thailand, forcing the baht to float and devalue sharply. This triggered a broader regional crisis, with currency devaluations and economic downturns impacting Indonesia, South Korea, and other Southeast Asian countries. The IMF provided $40 billion in loans to stabilize currencies and support reforms, but the crisis exposed weaknesses in the Asian economic model and financial systems.
The document summarizes the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. It began in Thailand due to a real estate bubble fueled by foreign capital inflows. When the US raised interest rates, capital fled Thailand, forcing the baht to float and devalue sharply. This triggered a financial crisis that spread to other Southeast Asian countries as currency devaluations made foreign debt more expensive. The IMF provided $40 billion in bailout loans to stabilize currencies in affected countries which included Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries. Countries had high debt levels, currency pressures, and collapsed asset prices as foreign capital rapidly pulled out. Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and other Southeast Asian countries were most affected. The IMF intervened and provided bailout loans with conditions of austerity measures, which some argue exacerbated recessions. While some countries recovered, the crisis highlighted the risks of heavy reliance on foreign capital inflows and foreign debt.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries. Countries had high debt levels, currency pressures, and collapsed asset prices as global capital flowed out. Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and other Southeast Asian countries were most affected. The IMF intervened and provided bailout loans with conditions of austerity measures, though their response was controversial and exacerbated recessions. While most Asian economies recovered, the crisis highlighted issues with financial deregulation and dependence on foreign capital inflows.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries. Countries had fixed exchange rates, large current account deficits, and over-reliance on short-term foreign loans. When the US dollar strengthened, exports became more expensive, growth slowed, and currencies depreciated sharply. This made it difficult to repay foreign debts. The crisis deepened as foreign investors withdrew money and domestic banks refused to refinance loans. Countries turned to the IMF for assistance but austerity measures further damaged economies. The crisis highlighted issues of excessive debt, currency risk, and poor financial regulation.
The East Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s affected several countries in the region. It was caused by weak domestic policies, global financial liberalization, and speculative attacks on currencies with fixed exchange rates. Thailand was hit first as investors lost confidence in its currency, the baht. The crisis led to sharp declines in currencies, stock markets, and asset prices across Asia. It also had spillover effects globally. The IMF responded by providing loans with conditions for austerity measures, which deepened recessions. Countries have since rebuilt their economies and financial systems to be stronger against future crises.
The document summarizes the US financial crisis and its impact on the US dollar and global economy. It discusses how loose lending standards, mortgage-backed securities, and credit default swaps led to the crisis. Central banks have responded by printing vast sums of money to inject liquidity. However, coordinated global policy action is also needed to rebalance global imbalances between surplus and deficit countries. Going forward, the world faces challenges around debt contraction and whether $8 trillion is sufficient given potential solvency issues rather than just liquidity problems.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in July 1997 and severely impacted economies across Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and other countries. The crisis was triggered by Thailand deciding to float its currency, the baht, causing its value to collapse and spread contagion to other economies. Weak financial systems, liberalization of capital flows, overreliance on foreign capital, and inconsistent economic policies contributed to the crisis by exposing vulnerabilities and causing investors to lose confidence. The crisis represented a failure of many parties to identify risks and prevent the downturn.

The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand and spread to other Southeast Asian countries as well as Japan, South Korea and Russia. It was caused by currency speculation and excess foreign debt taken on by countries to finance real estate bubbles and investments. When Thailand floated its currency, it collapsed and investors fled the region, causing currencies and stock markets to crash across Asia. The IMF intervened but its austerity measures exacerbated recessions. The crisis had global impacts including the 1998 Russian crisis and LTCM collapse. It reduced confidence in globalization and international financial institutions.
The document summarizes the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. It describes how large capital inflows into Southeast Asian countries in the early 1990s fueled economic booms and real estate bubbles. However, the bubbles eventually burst when foreign investors began pulling money out. This led Thailand to float its currency in July 1997, sparking a financial crisis that spread to other countries through currency devaluations and falling stock markets. The IMF intervened with bailout packages that required economic reforms. The crisis exposed issues with crony capitalism and overreliance on foreign capital inflows in the region.
The document discusses the global financial crisis and its effects on India. It notes that while India saw high GDP growth and a booming stock market in recent years, the crisis caused inflation, slowing growth, a falling stock market, and a declining rupee. The root causes of the crisis are said to be the rapid globalization and integration of financial markets beyond the control of national institutions. A world currency is proposed as an eventual solution to better regulate global capital flows and promote stability and growth worldwide.
SOUTH EAST ASIAN CRISIS- OE PART 2 notes copy.pptxPradeep Siribail
The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis originated in Thailand and spread to other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The crisis was caused by currency depreciation and heavy reliance on short-term borrowing in foreign currencies in the affected countries. This led to a panic as investors withdrew their money, stock markets collapsed, and property values plunged. The crisis required International Monetary Fund bailouts worth over $100 billion to prevent further spread around the globe.
The document summarizes the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, its causes, and its effects. It discusses several key points:
1) The crisis was caused by hot money flows leaving Southeast Asian countries as US interest rates increased, combined with financial deregulation and property bubbles in the region.
2) Countries like Indonesia were affected as currencies fell sharply against the US dollar, foreign debt became more expensive to pay back, and the IMF's austerity policies exacerbated economic downturns.
3) The crisis had severe socioeconomic impacts on Indonesia like increased poverty, high inflation, business bankruptcies, and currency depreciation weakening manufacturing industries. GDP growth fell sharply and poverty rates rose significantly.
This document provides a summary of slides for a presentation on the risks facing China's economy and currency. It discusses the large capital outflows from China, the end of China's currency carry trade, declining foreign exchange reserves, and deflationary pressures. The document argues that China will be forced to allow greater depreciation of its currency, the renminbi, in order to regain control over monetary policy and restore competitiveness. It predicts a disorderly disruption in China could cause a 20% or greater fall in the renminbi and trigger widespread turmoil across emerging markets similar to the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries, sparking fears of a global economic meltdown. Thailand's currency collapsed under the weight of foreign debt, driving the country into bankruptcy. As the crisis spread, currencies and stock markets declined across Southeast Asia and Japan. The crisis stemmed from inappropriate borrowing by the private sector for speculative investments during a period of strong economic growth. When firms could not repay loans, creditors withdrew funds from the region, placing further pressure on currencies. The crisis exposed weaknesses like overvalued currencies, inadequate financial regulation, and heavy reliance on short-term external debts. Governments and the IMF implemented policies to stabilize currencies and financial systems while addressing rising unemployment and social impacts.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. FIXED EXCHANGE RATE
A currency’s value is fixed against the value of another single currency
Used to stabilize the value of a currency against the currency it is pegged to
Makes trade and investments between the two currency areas easier and more predictable
Reduces volatility and fluctuations in relative prices
Eliminates exchange rate risk by reducing the associated uncertainty
Useful for small economies
4. FREE CAPITAL MOVEMENT
Freedom to move money to other countries and invest easily
Governments want to make easy for companies to invest in their country, setting up factories
and employing people
Making global movement as easy as possible, money can move to the places where it is needed
the most and can make the best return
5. INDEPENDENT MONETARY
POLICY
Control over interest rates
Adjusted to suit the specific needs of the economy
If the economy is in a recession or a slow down, interest rates can be lowered to give the
economy a boost.
If the economy is overheating or in a bubble with too high inflation, interest rates can be raised
6. Free Flow of Capital
Fixed Exchange Rate
Autonomous Monetary

7. WELCOME TO MICKEY-LAND
A prosperous land with rich natural resources
Central Bank Governor of
MickeyLand learns of the
Impossible Trinity.
8. ‘MICKEYLAND’ WANTS
ECONOMIC GROWTH – (Scene 1)
The of Mickey-Land
is worried about the
recent Economic Slowdown
He decides to encourage all
kinds of business in Mickey-
Land by giving loans at
Low Interest Rates
Mickey Dollars are
easily available
Businesses are
growing
9. MICKEY $ IN TROUBLE (Scene 2)
Mickey Dollars are now easily
available in MickeyLand.
Enter Uncle Scrooge (U.S)
Rich Uncle Scrooge(U.S) now
sees no incentive in keeping
his money in MickeyLand,
since Interest Rates are low
Duckling 1(from Nigeria)
offers much better Interest
Rates. Uncle Scrooge(U.S)
shifts money to Nigeria
NOTE : This is because MickeyLand ALLOWS
FREE FLOW OF CAPITAL.
10. BACK IN MICKEYLAND(Scene 3)
There is a shortage of Uncle
Scrooge $ in MickeyLand and
Mickeyland $ value depreciates in
the World Market
MickeyLand wanted FIXED
EXCHANGE RATE, and it
‘buys back’ Uncle Scrooge $,
increasing demand for it.
Large amounts of MickeyLand $
are needed to convince Uncle
Scrooge! This reduces liquidity in
MickeyLand $
Liquidity reduces Interest Rates Rise!
11. WHAT IF…..(Scene 4)
MickeyLand decided that they can
control everything by imposing
Capital Controls
Uncle Scrooge is prohibited from
Capital Transfer into Nigeria
However there is Mr.
UnniKrishnan (UK), who wants to
invest in MickeyLand but is a
victim of the Prohibition
Capital Flow Controls cause
fluctuations in Import and Export
and MickeyLand suffers.
12. IN A NUTSHELL…….
If interest rates were lowered to boost the economy, capital would leave the country to get a
better return
14. Asian Financial Crisis: Trinity explained
Marked by Fixed exchange rates, Free Capital Flows and High Interest rates
Growth of economic bubble fueled by hot money which was expensive, high short term interest rates
Large private current account deficits led to higher debts to GDP
External shocks culminated in increase of US interest rates which led to outflow of capital
Raise of US dollar made the pegged currencies strong and less competitive in global markets, higher
Current Account deficit
Governments in return increased interest rates. Reserves couldn’t sustain it and led to floating
Aftereffects: This led much of the developing world to abandon fixed exchange rates
The western institutions no more frown modest capital controls
Asian countries built up large reserves as contingency for future
15. INDIAN SCENARIO
Gradual financial liberalization, first domestic, then foreign
„More market-determined exchange rate system and current account convertibility
„Slow and incomplete capital account liberalization: “Complex, discretionary and
fragmented” controls
„De facto liberalization – increased capital flows
