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.
