Managing Capital Flows: The Case of the People’s Republic of China
Yu, Yongding | March 2015
Abstract
The relatively successful management of cross-border capital flows has enabled the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to achieve an extremely high average growth rate of more than 10 percent while keeping inflation under control. The management of cross-border capital flows is an indispensable element of macroeconomic stability. In order to cool down the overheating economy, the PRC government will continue to implement a tight monetary policy. In the face of possible further cuts in US interest rates, the PRC’s monetary tightening is becoming increasingly difficult. Hence, the PRC must maintain capital controls whenever possible, and improve its management of cross-border capital flows, to enable the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) to implement an independent monetary policy to sustain the economy’s growth into the next decade.
