Abstract

This research paper has focused on global cross-border trends in private capital flows, along with reviewing trends in trade, international reserves, external debt, remittances and ODA. The paper covers the general period between 1980 and 2013. Within private capital flows, it investigates FDI, Portfolio Flows and Financial Flows (net bank lending) and analyses the trends of these three flows over four periods: 1980-1990, 1991-2002, 2003-2007 and 2008-2013. It finds that during 2003-2007 there was a sharp upswing in cross-border private capital flows, coinciding with the general rise of the forces of financialization. This intensifying trend culminated in the global financial crisis in 2008. As a result, during the last period, 2008-2013, there was a sharp contraction in portfolio flows and financial flows. Among developing regions, Developing Asia fared the best during this period. However, Middle-Income Countries (MICs) were, in general, the hardest hit by the financial crisis and the volatility of private capital flows. This was due to the fact that such flows were highly concentrated in these countries. More recently, MICs have suffered from precipitous capital outflows as a result of the withdrawal (or planned withdrawal) of quantitative easing by central banks in the developed world.
