Assessing Changes in the Global Financial Architecture from an Emerging Market Perspective

Abstract

The article assesses changes in the global financial architecture and related global governance. Despite useful reforms lacunae remain. Analysis of financial regulations and measures to address global imbalances show serious weaknesses in addressing risks from shadow banking and large banks that are responsible for volatile capital flows to emerging markets (EMs). The underlying philosophy that intervention and controls distort markets and manipulate currencies weakens the toolbox available to EMs to deal with volatile capital flows. The use of quantitative easing and deficits are regarded as a valid response to domestic conditions in advanced economies, and their effect on commodity price inflation hitting EMs not acknowledged. Despite greater representation of EMs in the G-20 adjustment continues to be asymmetric. This harms global stability and recovery. Universal adoption of some basic minimal measures can close arbitrage gaps and resolve many problems.
