1 International Investment Patterns Philip R. Lane WBI Seminar, Paris, April 2006
2 Introduction What determines aggregate capital inflows and outflows? What determines bilateral patterns in international investment? Role of Institutions and Policies Lessons from recent literature Case study: China and India Case study: Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Challenges for macroeconomic policy; the adjustment process
3 Level of International Financial Integration Increasing in income per capita Increasing in trade openness - complementarity Increasing in domestic financial development Increasing in external account liberalization
4 Panel Analysis of financial integration, (Dep. Var.: change in financial integration) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) External Liberalization (3.69)*** (.5) (.36) (.5) (.2) Trade openness (3.62)*** (4.88)*** (3.37)*** (4.58)*** Log GDP per capita (2.74)*** (3.65)*** (5.06)*** Stock market capitalization (18.3)*** (17.4)*** Adjusted R Number of obs
5 Net Creditors versus Net Debtors Level of income per capita Demographic factors Level of public debt
6 Institutions Good institutions lead to: Greater financial integration Greater ability to attract capital inflows Improved quality of inflows more portfolio equity, more FDI, more bonds Improved quality of outflows less capital flight; lower need to hold reserves Lower spreads Institutional mix: general versus financial
7 Bilateral Investment Patterns What explains why country A invests in country B? Country A s propensity to invest overseas Country B s general attractiveness as a destination Bilateral linkages between A and B Important for investor base Important for transmission of shocks Important for risk analysis Important for asset pricing and return comovements
8 Bilateral Linkages Optimal diversification has a bilateral dimension Trade risk GDP / return risk Information frictions Gravity variables (Distance, Language, Colonial Ties ) Also Trade volume Bilateral trading costs Bilateral exchange rate stability, language, common institutional framework etc
9 Main Findings Asset holdings significantly correlated with trade linkages Distance also matters (more so for FDI, banks than portfolio flows) Institutional similarity Asset holdings less influenced by return hedging factors Strong impact of currency union (EMU) on equity; portfolio debt More generally, regional policies matter

37 Capital flows to Emerging Europe
38 Objective Put trends in external capital flows and their composition in perspective (compare CEE with EU15, other emerging mkts) Provide simple calculations on sustainable future capital flows Draw implications for future trade surpluses
39 Road map Capital flows and external position: stylized facts ( ) Bilateral exposure Implications for medium-term factor flows
40 Capital flows Large! Initial liabilities very small (except Bul, Hun, Pol) Strong growth prospects Obsolete capital
41 External liabilities in 1994 were small Swaziland Net external position in 1994 (percent of GDP) NFA/GDP Latvia Slovak Republic Romania Namibia Paraguay Lithuania Estonia Russia Mauritius Iran Lebanon Colombia South Africa Guatemala El Salvador Macedonia Brazil Kazakhstan Fiji Poland Turkey Costa Rica Chile Bulgaria Egypt Thailand Morocco Jamaica Dominican Rep. Algeria Peru MalaysiaHungary Panama Czech Republic Venezuela, Rep. Bol. Uruguay Mexico Slovenia Argentina -80 Ecuador Jordan -100 Trinidad and Tobago Syria Tunisia Gabon GDP per capita
42 ...but MUCH larger at end Iran Algeria Mauritius Venezuela, Rep. Bol. Net external position (pct of GDP), Russia Malaysia Oman NFA/GDP South Africa Albania Guatemala Belarus Egypt Jordan Uruguay Paraguay Thailand Macedonia Romania Slovak Republic Czech Republic Colombia Lithuania Chile Turkey Gabon Mexico Bulgaria Costa Rica Brazil Peru Latvia Poland Kazakhstan Dominican Republic El Salvador Croatia Jamaica Argentina Trinidad and Tobago Slovenia Portugal Ecuador Tunisia Panama Lebanon Hungary Estonia GDP per capita
43 International financial integration is increasing EU Other emerging markets 100 CEE countries
44 ...with equity liabilities playing a more important role CEE countries Other em. mkts EU
45 ...and particularly so FDI CEE countries 35 Other em. mkts EU
46 50 40 CEE countries FX share Equity share Reserves play an important role among external assets, more so than elsewhere EU 15 Equity share FX share Other emerging and developing economies FX share Equity share
47 In most CEE countries net equity liabilities are larger than net debt 30 Czech Republic net debt (pct of GDP) Slovak Republic Bulgaria Romania Slovenia Estonia Lithuania -10 Poland Latvia -20 Hungary Croatia net equity (pct of GDP)
48 Returns on external liabilities Returns on FDI are linked to economic performance (high when the economy does well, low otherwise) This implies better risk-sharing relative to foreign-currency debt......and can help productivity growth......but the price is a higher cost
49 Financial integration with the EU is particularly strong Sources of FDI (2002) EMU UK US DEN SWE SWI. CEEC Bulgaria Croatia Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania Slovakia Slovenia
50 Implications for future flows External liabilities cannot grow faster than GDP forever... Sustainable flows imply a stable ratio of net external liabilities to GDP... For example, with 8% nominal growth and liabilities of 50% of GDP, the CA balance would be -4% SS ca ( g +π ) NFA t t SS
51 Does this imply that large capital inflows can persist without any adjustment? Not quite. As liabilities accumulate, investment income payments to foreigners increase To keep the CA from deteriorating, the trade balance (broadly defined) must improve......because servicing external debt and FDI is costly
52 ...and the improvement must be large... Trade balance (average ) NFAstabilizing trade balance Implied current account balance (baseline) Bulgaria Czech Republic Slovak Republic Estonia Latvia Hungary Lithuania Poland
53 What can countries do? Strengthen export growth (and hope for recovery in the euro area!) Contain budget deficits (that contribute to widening current account imbalances) Be prepared for leaner times on global capital markets
54 Upside and downside risks Credible policies and integration with EU can lower spreads, implying more favorable debt dynamics... But there is limited scope for exchange rate correction to ease the trade balance adjustment, at least with current exchange rate regimes
