International Capital Movement
CHAPTER 1

ABSTRACT:

Existing studies reveals that the huge surge in international capital flows since early 1990s has created unprecedented opportunities for the developing countries like India to achieve accelerated economic growth. International financial institutions routinely advise developing countries to adopt policy regimes that encourage capital inflows. Since the introduction of the reform process in the early 1990s, India has witnessed a significant increase in capital inflows. The size of net capital inflows to India increased from US $ 7.1 billion in 1990-91 to US $ 108.0 billion in 2007-08. Today, India has one of the highest net capital inflows among the EMEs of Asia. Capital inflows, however, not an unmitigated blessing. The main danger posed by large and volatile capital inflows is that they may destabilize macroeconomic management. As evident, the intensified pressures due to large and volatile capital flows in India in the recent period in an atmosphere of global uncertainties has posed new challenges for monetary and exchange rate management. The present paper elaborates on various aspects of the capital inflows to India and their policy implications.

    The exchange rate regime in our country has undergone a significant change during 1990s. Until February 1992, exchange rate in India was fixed by the Reserve Bank of India. Thereafter a dual exchange rate system was adopted during March 1992 to February 1993 which also came to an end and a unified market came into being in March 1993. The present exchange rate regime in India is popularly known as managed floating with no fixed target. It is said that because of this regime, India reaps the benefit of flexible exchange rate system on the one hand and less volatility in the foreign exchange market on the other. It has been observed that our economy witnessed nearly a constant exchange rate during March 1993 to August 1995.…

    This is the era of competitive economies and India is one of the pioneers. In the recent years, India has been consistently moving towards becoming a developed nation with its IT and technical advancement, intellectual capital, off shoring and outsourcing to boast of. Capital account convertibility is one of the main features of developed economy. India’s inclination towards CAC, when the Tarapore committee first suggested it in 1997 and after their latest report in 2006, indicates that it is aiming to cash on this opportunity to realize the potential of the economy to the maximum possible extent. Fuller Capital Account Convertibility implies the freedom to convert domestic financial assets into overseas financial assets and vice-versa co-exists with reforms, restrictions and regulatory measures. Thus FCAC brings what is most required today in India-cheaper capital to accelerate the pace of investment, diversification of investment to reduce risk and integration with the global markets alongwith the urgency for strengthening the macroeconomic framework. In this paper, we have studied the prerequisites for implementing FCAC, India’s position and efforts so far, the Asian crisis and lessons learnt from it, and finally, would it be worth taking the risk!…

    Balance of Payments update (Jan-March’13). India’s current account deficit (CAD) moderated to 3.6% of GDP (USD18.2bn) in Jan-Mar’13, from a record high 6.7% of GDP (USD31.8bn) in Oct-Dec’12. A substantial narrowing of the trade deficit (USD45.6bn in Jan-March vs. USD58.4bn in Oct-Dec) and further improvement in net invisibles (USD27.5bn vs. USD26.6bn) drove the outcome. The Jan-March BOP number confirms our long held view that the CAD will improve considerably through 2013. Reduction in gold and oil imports, coupled with an export recovery and stable invisibles ought to narrow the FY13/14 CAD by at least 1% of GDP, in our view (we forecast FY13/14 CAD to be USD80bn, 3.8% of GDP). Despite a lower deficit projection, we note that the financing environment has become challenging lately, causing a sharp depreciation of the rupee in recent weeks. But we think that once the dust settles, India's improving fiscal and external account balance, declining inflation, and sustained efforts to attract investors would help the financing situation improve and pave the way for an appreciation of the exchange rate later this year. Likely impact of the Rupee at 60. The rupee's slide continued this week even as global markets appeared to stabilize to some…

    Fera to Fema

    Independence ushered in a complex web of controls for all external transactions through a legislation i.e., Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA), 1947. There were further amendments made to the FERA in 1973 where the regulation was intensified. The policy was designed around the need to conserve Foreign Exchange Reserves for essential imports such as Petroleum goods and food grains. The year 1991 was an important milestone for the Economy. There was a paradigm shift in the Foreign Exchange Policy. It moved from an Import Substitution strategy to Export Promotion with sufficient Foreign Exchange Reserves. The adequacy of the Reserves was determined by the Guidotti Rule, though the actual implementation of the rule was modified to meet our requirements. As a result of measures initiated to liberalize capital inflows, India’s Foreign Exchange Reserves (mainly foreign currency assets) have increased from US$6 billion at end-March 1991 to US$270 billion2 as on 9th November 2007. It would be useful to note that the Reserves accretion can be attributed to large Foreign Capital Inflow that could not be absorbed in the economy. This has been as a result of shift of funds from developed economies to emerging markets like India, China and Russia.…
