Managing large capital inflows (Chapter 3 from IMF's World Economic Outlook),
19 October 2007,
Josh Felman, IMF

On Friday the 19th, from 4:30 PM to 6 PM, we're going to have Josh Felman present Chapter 3 of the IMF's World Economic Outlook. This document, which appeared last week, sheds new light on the highly topical subject of managing large capital inflows.

This topic is highly relevant in India, given the present debates about capital controls, the exchange rate regime and monetary policy. Josh Felman is resident representative of IMF in India. This makes him an ideal presenter of this work, for he will be able to link up the ideas of the WEO more effectively to contemporary Indian issues.

The venue is the auditorium on the ground floor at NIPFP.

Her talk is titled Risk-based regulation in the UK: Where does macroeconomic analysis fit into the picture?. She would be talking about the innovative ways in which the FSA integrates macro and market analysis into its supervisory work. She would also profile some of the tools that FSA has developed that gives it the unique insights into the ways in which developments in the real economy can affect the FSA's regulatory remit.
