The IMF and Capital Controls: Policy Implications
10:30 am
Spring Meetings Civil Society Forum
CSO Room C, World Bank Main Building
1818 H St NW
Washington, DC 20433
Short-term capital flows are once again increasing in developing countries, as the world economy recovers. In February, IMF economists published a paper which concluded that under certain conditions, the use of capital controls "is justified as part of the policy toolkit to manage inflows." In the past, short-term and speculative capital inflows have made it more difficult for governments to manage their most important macroeconomic policies, including monetary and exchange rate policies; and rapid outflows have contributed greatly to economic and financial crises in many countries. Video and audio from the event are available here.
