Inflows of capital to developing countries in the 1990s

Article Abstract:

The surge of capital inflows to developing countries in the 1990s has invalidated numerous theoretical economic models. While foreign capital stimulates economic growth, tight fiscal policies are needed to tackle the adverse macroeconomic impact of large capital inflows. The Mexican crisis of 1994 demonstrates the vulnerability of developing economies to sudden reversals in capital inflows. Strong macroeconomic management policies such as those implemented in Malaysia are needed to counter the negative effects of large capital inflows to developing countries.

Although not yet fully established, preliminary assessment reveals that through the framework's implementation, more reliable and coherent policymaking can be achieved and accountability can be increased.
