International Capital Markets: Developments and Prospects
Global capital markets continued to expand and liberalize in 1987–88, making the financial system more competitive but posing new challenges to policymakers, financial institutions, and regulatory authorities.
The increased scope for international intermediation, spurred by liberalization and innovations in financing, has magnified the importance of macroeconomic policies that generate market confidence. At the same time, financial institutions have begun rethinking their corporate strategies, and regulatory authorities are considering how best to manage the risks inherent in an expanding international financial system.
This annual study, a part of the World Economic and Financial Survey series, was prepared by a staff team from the IMF’s Exchange and Trade Relations and Research Departments. It provides a detailed overview of recent developments in international capital markets and their implications for the developing country debt problem.
