Capital Flows To Third World Countries
This paper begins by examining the pattern of capital flows first to low-income countries, and
then to emerging economies. In both cases, we see a dramatic collapse in the last several
years. The evolving determinants of these trends in FDI flows (the principal category of
private flows to low-income countries) and other capital flows are analysed. The behaviour
of flows to emerging economies heavily influences both present and potential future flows to
low-income countries. The paper concludes with the policy implications at both source
countries and low-income recipient countries.
