III Preface T he Committee on International Economic Policy and Reform is a non-partisan, independent group of experts, comprised of academics and former government and central bank officials. Its objective is to analyze global monetary and financial problems, offer systematic analysis, and advance reform ideas. The Committee attempts to identify areas in which the global economic architecture should be strengthened and recommend solutions intended to reconcile national interests with broader global interests. Through its reports, it seeks to foster public understanding of key issues in global economic management and economic governance. Each Committee report will focus on a specific topic and will emphasize longer-term rather than conjunctural policy issues. The Committee is grateful to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation* for providing financial support and to the Brookings Institution for hosting the committee and facilitating its work. Quynh Tonnu provided excellent administrative and logistical support to the Committee. *Brookings recognizes that the value it provides to any donor is in its absolute commitment to quality, independence and impact. Activities sponsored by its donors reflect this commitment and neither the research agenda, content, nor outcomes are influenced by any donation. Iv I n our previous report, Rethinking Central Banking , we made the case for a broader mandate for central banks and for monetary policy coordination. In this report, we lay out a complementary framework for cross-border banking flows and for improved regulatory coordination. The traditional policy prescription for capital account opening is that the benefits of capital flows can be reaped by removing the impediments to unfettered capital movements one by one. Some allowance is made for emerging and developing economies to liberalize more slowly, given their weak institutions. However recent experience, such as the capital flow reversals in Europe, has shown that even advanced economies may be vulnerable to the unintended consequences of capital account liberalization when the procyclicality inherent in capital flows is not adequately addressed. The procyclicality of capital flows can in principle be addressed through coordinated global regulation and globally coordinated monetary policy. However, in practice such coordination is not straightforward to design or implement, even when the interests of countries overlap or are congruent. And even when coordination is globally optimal, it may generate tensions with the valued prerogative of national governance. Given the obstacles to global coordination, countries may have little choice but to design frameworks that mitigate the risks of cross-border flows at the …
