Sterilized intervention usually doesn t work if assets in advanced economies and emerging markets remain perfectly substitutable, inflows will continue as long as interest rate differentials persist.

This means that at some point large scale, persistent sterilized foreign exchange intervention amounting to several percentage points of GDP would satisfy the additional demand for emerging market assets and stop the inflows, even if interest rate differentials remain. As sterilization induces issuance of domestic assets, global investors desire for diversification would be met without causing excessive currency appreciation, with all its collateral damage, in emerging markets.
