Capital account liberalization and renminbi internationalization invite potentially volatile cross border capital flows, which could, for example, trigger rapid currency appreciation. Given this, China can be expected to continue to manage capital account transactions to some extent, using macroprudential measures and, when appropriate, direct capital controls.

Second, much will depend on how China navigates the transition to a more open capital account. History is littered with financial crises occurring in the wake of precipitous capital account liberalization.

Measures to facilitate the payment of arrears should also take account of the special circumstances of developing countries.

Negotiations with IAEA are ongoing to achieve a regular payment pattern in accordance with the operating guidelines of the special account.

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

But it is just as essential that developing countries maintain an appropriate degree of policy autonomy in managing capital flows and choosing whatever capital account regime they deem appropriate.

But whether renminbi appreciation will work depends on reducing China s net capital inflows and current account surplus.

But the government then heeded influential economists warnings of the risks of relaxing capital controls too hastily.

Such balances arise mainly from the non payment or delayed payment of assessed contributions

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.

The fickleness of capital markets poses once again the paradox of thrift. As capital withdraws from emerging markets, these countries soon will be forced to adopt their own austerity measures and run current account surpluses, much like the eurozone periphery today.
