Concerned about the excessive volatility of speculative short term capital flows and the contagion effects in financial markets in times of crisis,

To address in the relevant international fora the urgency of measures at the global level to monitor short term capital flows, particularly in respect of the sources and movement of speculative capital, and to protect the autonomy of developing countries in managing capital flows and choosing their capital account regime.

Taming Speculative Capitalism

In addition to having a suboptimal exchange rate arrangement, the more vulnerable ESCWA member countries are unable to defend their currencies under the current conditions of free capital movement and intensified international speculative activities.

Second, many argue that raising interest rates would trigger a flood of speculative capital from low yielding advanced economies. With the PBOC unable to sterilize the inflows, upward pressure on the renminbi s exchange rate would threaten competitiveness.

These, together with the external shocks triggered by the volatility of speculative capital flows, drastic terms of trade adjustments and even inflows of remittances, make the potential benefits of structural adjustment and stabilization policies difficult to attain.

In contrast to the other two psychological causes, speculative contagion has a natural end. A speculative bubble, sustaining itself solely by reaction to price increases, cannot go on forever.

Owing to its underdeveloped financial system and inefficient capital markets, China would be unable to withstand an attack akin to those that triggered the Asian financial crisis without the protection of capital controls. Already, even without a major speculative attack, the exchange rate and interest rate arbitrage facilitated by renminbi internationalization have imposed significant losses on China.

In the view of Iraq, the claim unit is overly speculative.

That one size fits all approach meant that interest rates in southern European countries were too low before 2009, and too high in northern Europe. A gold standard rule would have produced higher rates for the southern European borrowers, which would have attracted funds to where capital might be productively used, and at the same time acted as a deterrent against purely speculative capital flows.

On the other hand, the estimate of the amount required would have to be speculative.

Nicolas Sarkozy, the leading contender in the French presidential election, recently lashed out against what he called speculative capitalism, and says he wants to moralize the financial zone created by the euro. What does Sarkozy mean by speculative capitalism?

Instead, the profitable carving up of healthy companies has freed up capital to flow to intangible assets, houses and other forms of real estate, fueling a speculative crisis. In short, the global economy replete with get rich quick schemes, overpaid bosses, and corporate fraud has lost its moral bearings.

In the cities, a lot of the cost of property is actually wrapped up in its speculative value.

Third, and no less important, is the speculative contagion that underlies any bubble. The current boom has seen contagion

The key is to reflect on six kinds of capital goods business capital, infrastructure, human capital, intellectual capital, natural capital, and social capital. All of these are productive, but each has a distinctive role.

This second option would be less desirable than the first. The speculative uncertainties associated with a Grexit might well threaten other eurozone economies (for example, Cyprus and Portugal), while Greece, with a devalued drachma, would find it painfully expensive to import the capital goods it needs to generate a broad base of high wage jobs.

If appreciation does not reduce the current account surplus and capital inflows, then the renminbi s exchange rate is bound to face further upward pressure. That is why some people are advocating that China undertake a one shot, big bang appreciation large enough to defuse expectations of further strengthening and deter inflows of speculative hot money.

The notion that the prenatal transmission of PTSD risk is adaptive is still speculative, but I find it rather poignant.

While the global economy may seem to be recovering from the recent crises, it remains fraught with risk, stemming from the 750 trillion in liquidity up 50 trillion since 2006 sloshing around in speculative markets. This capital does not finance investments or fuel economic growth its sole purpose is to reap enormous but unpredictable profits for a select few.

In these circumstances, privatization will have profound consequences for China s economy. The recent capital spending boom produced a burst of speculative lending in 2003 and 2004 because the banking system was still state owned and responsive to political pressure until the government itself imposed credit controls in April 2004 to prevent a sharp upsurge in non performing loans.

What matters here isn't technical capital, it's social capital.

Since the exact ratio of men to women within the framework of the total population is unknown, these conclusions are rather speculative.

HONG KONG On March 1, China s State Council announced a new batch of restrictions aimed at reining in property prices by curbing speculative demand. The measures include tighter limits on home purchases by non locals in cities with excessive price gains, a reinforced 20 capital gains tax, mandatory 70 down payments, and a 30 benchmark interest rate premium for second mortgages.

The sustainable livelihood framework (SLF) proposed in the project document as a tool for analysing the success of the project is based on the following set of broad success indicators natural capital, physical capital, social capital, human capital and financial capital.

Their speculative frenzies ruined shareholders, customers, and the economy. Anger has come to focus on banking executives huge compensation packages, composed largely of bonuses.
