Abstract
Cross-border capital flows have been intensified in the last decades with the greater financial integration. Along with their greater size, gross flows have become more volatile and pro-cyclical, exacerbating economic fluctuations in emerging-markets economies (EMEs). After the 2008 global crisis, “emerging-market” assets and currencies became objects of desire on the part of global investors, resuming policy dilemmas to EMEs stemming from the combination of high growth rates, accelerating inflation, excessive currency appreciation, and/or asset price overshooting. Yet, some EMEs chose to regulate capital inflows in order to deal with these policy dilemmas. This chapter aims at analyzing some macroeconomic problems related to the recent wave of capital flows to EMEs and discussing some policies alternatives to deal with such issues, with special focus on capital account regulation.
