The globalization of corporate finance in developing countries
Published May 29, 2007
WORLD GROWTH IS MODERATING, and financial markets are signaling a
turn in the financing conditions facing the developing world. As these
developments make themselves felt, 2007 is likely
to be a year of adjustment for capital flows to developing countries.
After recovering from the sharp contraction of 2001–02, private flows
weathered several episodes of global financial volatility
and passed through a full cycle of global monetary easing and tightening
to reach a record level of $647 billion in 2006, up 17 percent from 2005. Total
capital flows, including lending by official creditors, leveled off
at 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005–06, just below the 5.25
percent level reached in 1995–97, before the East Asian crisis.
