The Temptation of China s Capital Account

It is time to add managing the capital account to this list.

This has come at the expense of sectors that are more dependent on equity financing.

China has a two tier system in which the capital account is strictly controlled most other currencies don t distinguish between current and capital accounts.

As such, the timing could not be worse to float the idea of speeding up capital account liberalization.

To be sure, a cautious approach should not be allowed to impede incremental progress toward capital account liberalization.

Progress in institution building is also important for a well sequenced liberalisation of the capital account.

It is hard to argue that the RMB is not undervalued, given China s large and persistent current account and capital account surpluses.

The Asian financial crisis persuaded China s leaders to shelve plans, launched in 1994, to liberalize the capital account.

This is why capital account regulations are allowed under IMF rules, and why the attempt to introduce capital account convertibility into the IMF s Articles of Agreement was defeated in 1997.

Most economists in China seem to support the PBOC s stance, citing the potential benefits of capital account liberalization.

UNCTAD should continue its work in the area of debt, including the study of the application of debt for equity swaps for development.

Most economists in China seem to support the PBOC s stance, citing the potential benefits of capital account liberalization. But Chinese policymakers should also recognize the significant risks inherent in relaxing capital controls.

Initial capital

Where realistic debt restructuring scenarios indicate capital shortfalls, across the board conversion of bank debt into equity will be necessary.

In early 2012, the People s Bank of China (PBOC) released a report calling for policymakers to take advantage of a strategic opportunity to accelerate capital account liberalization.

Instead of banking the political capital that his high approval ratings had given him, he chose to spend some of it on an initiative that his predecessors had rejected, but that will help to transform myriad aspects of Japan s economy.

As above, firm value is enhanced when, and if, the return on capital exceeds the cost of capital.

A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an algorithm to compute the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and its inverse.

As such, the timing could not be worse to float the idea of speeding up capital account liberalization. On the contrary, the Peoples Bank of China (PBoC) and other relevant authorities should consider capital controls, market suspensions, and emergency liquidity provision.

List of tables

Although currency internationalization is not tantamount to capital account liberalization, progress on the former presupposes progress on the latter.

Before World War II, venture capital investments (originally known as development capital ) were primarily the domain of wealthy individuals and families.

This is why equity capital held by financial institutions typically is more than twice as expensive as debt capital and why these institutions try to minimize its use.
