Rationale      

A number of countries are grappling with surges of capital inflows, which along with benefits in terms of growth and investment, are also posing macroeconomic and financial stability challenges. This paper reviews the recent experience of selected countries in dealing with capital inflows and suggests a possible framework for IMF policy advice on the spectrum of measures available to policymakers to manage inflows, including macroeconomic policies, prudential measures and capital controls. The framework brings together the large volume of work in the IMF over the past year or so, and is part of the institution’s broader work agenda on capital flows.

Objective      

Present the material of the recently published Board paper on managing capital inflows, explaining the key ideas and analyses behind it. Clarify the IMF’s position on the relevance and application of the proposed policy framework to deal with inflows.

Special Lecture "ASEAN Connectivity : An Indonesian Context"

ASEAN connectivity is an initiative proposed by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at Phuket ASEAN Ministerial Meeting in July 2009. A Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity is well under way and is one step closer to make ASEAN a more competitive region. 

Most importantly, Indonesia as an active member of ASEAN has viewed the development of ASEAN connectivity as a mean to support domestic connectivity through economic development which needs to be sustained by infrastructure and communications cooperation as well as mobility among people.  In agreement with ASEAN, Indonesia shares the view that the development of regional architectures not only needs to recognize the significance of ASEAN as driving force, but also must be carried out with a view to strengthening efforts towards ASEAN Community-building. At the same time, efforts at ASEAN Connectivity must also be implemented with the respect to each ASEAN member country’s domestic conditions to help created the future success of the ASEAN Connectivity building.
