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

Capital controls, whatever their benefits in terms of mitigating the risks associated with volatile capital flows, are costly in a variety of ways.

A bloated and dysfunctional financial system had misallocated capital and, rather than managing risk, had actually created it.

But Chinese policymakers should also recognize the significant risks inherent in relaxing capital controls.

More importantly, the crisis highlighted the risks associated with high dependence on foreign capital.

The latter course risks the worst of all worlds all of the costs of capital controls and all of the domestic policy complications from volatile capital flows, but few of the potential benefits of foreign capital.

Since high risk premiums on government bonds endanger the capital adequacy of banks, half a solution is not enough.

Initial capital

While the right policies cannot eliminate risk, they can ameliorate the cost benefit tradeoff from capital flows.

The resulting perception that currency risk was declining bolstered capital inflows further.

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.

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

Internationally agreed rules stipulate that banks must create capital reserves commensurate to the risks that they take when they invest depositors savings.

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.

Moreover, Li has called upon the banking sector to reinvigorate idle capital and allocate incremental capital more effectively.

First, capital requirements should be set as a straightforward ratio of common equity to total assets, thereby abandoning all reference to banks own risk management models.
