Capital Flow
The movement of money for the purpose of investment,
trade or business production. Capital flows occur withincorporations in the form of investment capital and capital
spending on operations and research & development. On
a larger scale, governments direct capital flows from tax
receipts into programs and operations, and through trade
with other nations and currencies. Individual investorsdirect savings and investment capital into securities like
stocks, bonds and mutual funds.

Channels for International Flow ofFunds
The International financial market can be
compartmentalised into two segments.
} International Money Market
} International Capital Market

Cont.
Irrespective of such distinction between the two segments,
there are a number of agencies and instruments through
which funds move to the resource-needy institutions or firms.
The resources providing agencies may be:
}Official agencies
}Non- official agencies

Selection of Sources and Forms of Funds
When a firm selects a particular source or form of funds, it
does so in order to suit its corporate objectives. Some of
the objectives are:
}Minimisation of Cost of Funds
} Borrowing to Conform to Capital Structure Norms
} Selection of OptimalMaturity
}Avoidance of legal and procedural Formalities

Minimisation of Cost of Funds
} Effective cost of borrowings depends on both the
interest rate and the exchange rate changes.
} The effective cost of borrowings in a foreign
market is obtained as:
Kbf= (1+rf) (1+Ef) 1
Where, rf =
rate of interest in the foreign market
Ef = change in the exchange rate

Borrowing to Conform to CapitalStructure Norms
} Sourcing of funds is related essentially to minimizing thecost of capital, but not through selection of currency of
borrowings but by adhering to the capital structurenorms.
}Multinational enterprise raises funds, it does it throughmixing debt capital with equity in a way that minimizesthe cost of capital.
} If the capital structure norms conform to the loacalnorms in the host country, they are well in line with themonetary and financial policy of the host government.

Selection of OptimalMaturity
A multinational firm likes to maintain a proper
balance between :
} Short term liabilities and
} Long term liabilities

Avoidance of legal and proceduralFormalities
} Any firm raising funds does not like to undergo too
many procedural formalities.
} From this viewpoint, the issue of international bond is
too complex, much more complex than the Euro notes.
}Again, the borrowings programme can be designed
only in frame work of local laws.
} If the government prohibits the issue of a particular
instruments, the borrower can not issue it despite its
cost efficiency.

Financial Crisis
} The term financial crisis is applied broadly to a variety
of situations in which some financial institutions orassets suddenly lose a large part of their value.
}Many financial crises were associated with banking
panics, and many recessions coincided with these panics.
-

11/30
}Other situations that are often called financial crises
include stock market crashes and the bursting of other
financial bubbles, currency crises, and sovereign
defaults.
} Financial crises directly result in a loss of paper wealth;
they do not directly result in changes in the real economy
unless a recession or depression follows.
}Many economists have offered theories about how
financial crises develop and how they could beprevented.

Banking crisis
} BANK RUN
} Banks lend out most of the cash they receive in deposits} Bankruptcy
} Causing many depositors to lose their savings unless
they are covered by deposit insurance

}A situation in which bank runs are widespread is calleda systemic banking crisis or just a banking panic.
}A situation without widespread bank runs, but in which
banks are reluctant to lend, because they worry that they
have insufficient funds available, is often called a creditcrunch.
} Examples:
1. Bank of the United States in 1931.
2. Collapse of Bear Stearns in 2008 has also sometimesbeen called a bank run, even though Bear Stearns was
an investment bank rather than a commercial bank.

Speculative bubbles and crashes
} Financial asset (stock, for example) exhibits a bubble
when its price exceeds the present value of the future
income (such as interest or dividends)
} If most market participants buy the asset primarily in
hopes of selling it later at a higher price, instead of
buying it for the income it will generate, this could be
evidence that a bubble is present.
-
8/3/2019 Presentation on Flow of Funds and Shocks
16/30
} If there is a bubble, there is also a risk of a crash in asset
prices: market participants will go on buying only as
long as they expect others to buy, and when many decide
to sell the price will fall.
} It is difficult to tell in practice whether an asset's price
actually equals its fundamental value, so it is hard to
detect bubbles reliably.

International financial crises
}When a country that maintains a fixed exchange rate is
suddenly forced to devalue its currency because of a
speculative attack, this is called a currency crisis or
balance of payments crisis.
}When a country fails to pay back its sovereign debt, this
is called a sovereign default.
-
8/3/2019 Presentation on Flow of Funds and Shocks
18/30
}While devaluation and default could both be
voluntary decisions of the government For,
1. To stop Capital Flow
2. To encourage Capital Flow

Wider economic crises
}Negative GDP growth lasting two or more quarters is
called a recession.
}An especially prolonged recession may be called a
depression
}while a long period of slow but not necessarily negative
growth is sometimes called economic stagnation.

} Example: bank runs and stock market crashes.
} The subprime mortgage crisis and the bursting of other
real estate bubbles around the world also led to recession
in the U.S. and a number of other countries in late 2008and 2009.
} Financial crises are caused by recessions instead of the
other way around, and that even where a financial crisis is
the initial shock that sets off a recession.

Causes and
Consequences of FinancialCrises

}Leverage}Asset-liability mismatch
}Regulatory failures

Fraud}Contagion

Strategic complementarities infinancial markets
} Reflexivity: Intentions of other investors.
}
Secondly Investors have incentives to coordinate theirchoices.
}Who thinks other investors want to buy lots of Japanese
yen may expect the yen to rise in value, and therefore has
an incentive to buy yen too.
} Incentive to mimic the strategies of others strategic.

Leverage
}borrowing to finance investments, is frequently cited as a
contributor to financial crises
}When a financial institution (or an individual) only
invests its own money, it can, in the very worst case, lose
its own money. But when it borrows in order to invest
more, it can potentially earn more from its investment,
but it can also lose more than all it has.

}Magnifies the potential returns from investment,
but also creates a risk of bankruptcy.
}The average degree of leverage in the economy
often rises prior to a financial crisis.

Asset-Liability Mismatch
}A situation in which the risks associated with an
institution's debts and assets are not appropriately
aligned.
} The mismatch between the banks' short-term liabilities
(its deposits) and its long-term assets (its loans) is seen
as one of the reasons
-

} Many emerging market governments are unable to sell
bonds denominated in their own currencies, and therefore
sell bonds denominated in US dollars instead.
} This generates a mismatch between the currency
denomination of their liabilities (their bonds) and their
assets (their local tax revenues), so that they run a risk of
sovereign default due to fluctuations in exchange rates

Regulatory failures
}Governments regulating the financial sector.
}
transparency: All procedures to be standardized.}Goals:
1. Reserves Requirement
2. Capital Requirement
3. Leverage

For example, the Managing Director of the International
Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has blamed the
financial crisis of 2008 on 'regulatory failure to guard
against excessive risk-taking in the financial system,
especially in the US'.

Fraud
} Fraud has played a role in the collapse of some financial
institutions.
}When companies have attracted depositors with
misleading claims about their investment strategies, or
have embezzled the resulting income

Contagion
} idea that financial crises may spread from one
institution to another.
} Example: Bank Run, currency crises, sovereign
defaults, or stock market crashes spread across
countries.
