11 Preface Transnational migration of financial resources, in various forms, comes only next in importance to international trade. It influences the relations between countries or country groups and, in turn, is influenced by it. For a long time transnational financial flows have been a significant factor of the multifaceted world economy. Capital has migrated from countries that have it to those who need it. It has been a carrier of industrialisation from its first home to the other areas of the world. With the passage of time, the interest and concern in the resource flows have gone on increasing. During the last few years, hardly two days went by without the financial press carrying a news item on one kind of resource flow or the other, be they bilateral, multilateral or capital market flows. Along with this the professional interest has caught on, bringing serious scholars into this field, so much so that an institute named the Institute of International Finance was set up in Washington, in April 1983, for looking into various economic issues related to sovereign lending. The World Bank has gradually acquired a greatly enhanced, almost unprecedented, role and the International Monetary Fund has come to be the linchpin of the international financial system. The international economy has rapidly changed, the changes occurring not only during the fast-growing decades of the 1950s and 1960s, but also during the slow-growth period of the 1970s and early 1980s. Let us, however, not confuse slow growth with a no-change scenario. The level of interdependence between countries and country-groups increased more during the second period. This interdependence extended to the realms of trade, monetary system and financial flows. The migration of financial resources is an integral part of this interdependence among the nations. In the early 1970s, the emergence of OPEC as a donor-country group added a new dimension to this scene. That apart, various shocks received by the international economy gave several twists to the situation. In the recent past, the dimension of total medium- and long-term indebtedness of developing countries from all sources grew as follows: xiii
12 XlV Preface Year Amount (in billions of$) (Preliminary) 774 (Estimated) (NB. These liability figures include neither the short-term debt nor the IMF credits used by LDCs.) Thus, the decade of 1970s brought a substantial quantitative change in the external indebtedness of the developing countries. The average annual growth rate for the decade of 1970s was 22 per cent. This rate, however, fell to 14 per cent in The deceleration continued thereafter, and annual growth rate of liabilities further declined to 13 per cent in 1983, 9 per cent in 1984 and 8 per cent in The average for the period plummeted to 11 per cent, which is half of the average for the 1970s. The quantitative change happened, pari passu, with a qualitative transformation in the debt profile of the developing countries. In the 1960s, most of these flows came from bilateral and multilateral sources in the form of grants and concessional loans. Capital market flows consisted largely of suppliers' credit and direct foreign investment. Around 1970, this pattern gradually changed and a long-run shift towards borrowing from the capital market took place. In 1970, the official development assistance and capital market flows contributed 44 per cent each to the net flows to developing countries, in 1981 the share of official development assistance declined to 29 per cent of the total and that of capital market flows rose to 61 per cent. The multilateral resource flows soared from 2 per cent of the net resource receipts in 1970 to 8 per cent in Over the years, the volume and importance of capital market flows increased over those from bilateral sources. The first intended objective of this book is to delve into the trends in the migration of various kinds of financial resource flows to developing countries during the post-war period. It begins with the bilateral flows and quantifies them for each creditor country-group for the period under consideration. That is not to say that it only presents a
13 Preface XV quantitative scenario and ends the story there. It relates the trends to the economic, financial and political events on the international scene and it tries to ordain their influence on the flows to developing countries. It also examines the terms and conditions of the resource flows, alterations in their geographical distribution with the passage of time and the changes in the sectoral pattern of allocation. It explains the trends in the background of the value and_ volume of the world trade, and the pattern of imports of the creditor countries from the debtor countries, essentially because it is this that determines the repaying capability of the latter country-group. Thus, it does not study the migration of financial resources in the manner of a chronicler. Inasmuch as it is a retrospective study, it has the advantages of hindsight. The second focus of the book is on examining the resource flows to developing countries from the international capital markets. Initially, as indicated, these flows were only in the form of direct foreign investment and export credits. Subsequently, the developing countries started utilising other instruments to raise capital, i.e. foreign and international bonds, and Eurocredits and Eurobonds. An identical exercise has been performed with these flows as well, namely, a trend analysis, the variations in quantum of flows and reasons thereof, impact of economic, financial and political events on these flows, and their terms and conditions. The third major source of external resources to developing countries is the multilateral financial institutions. The principal ones are the Bretton Woods institutions, the three regional development banks and the United Nations Development Programme. The capital flows from these institutions have again been given the same treatment as the other two kinds mentioned above. Indubitably, the financial flows from these three different sources have three different characters and personalities. Therefore, in order to paint a complete canvas, all three need to be looked at. Based on these analyses, an attempt has been made to look into the immediate future. After a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative gleaning of facts and figures, and their analysis, an attempt has been made to see what the developing countries can reasonably expect in times to come, and why. Compiling various statistical time-series from the primary sources and presenting them in a lucidly perceptible manner is a major task of this study. These time-series form the basic parametric skeleton around which the whole superstructure is constructed. A great deal of importance was given to their culling, and having done that the sources and
14 XVI Preface the quality of data are talked about at length in the relevant subsections. The first part of the book comprises the first three chapters and lays the background for the next three, which deal with the three substantive strands of analyses. The first chapter takes a historical overview of the migration of financial resources and culminates on the eve of the Second World War. Two of the most interesting periods in the history of capital flows are: the nineteenth century, particularly five decades prior to the First World War; and the inter-war period. There are lessons to be learned from this history. While the debate on the role of foreign capital inflows still flourishes, it is widely agreed that they have an impact on economic growth. These flows also mean an increase in financial dependence of borrowing countries and rising relative debtservicing obligations. The second chapter looks into various macroeconomic aspects of capital inflows; it surveys and comments upon the various theoretical frameworks in this regard. Chapter 3 relates to the post-war economic scene in developing countries. How have the various sub-groups among developing countries performed? What were the economic circumstances in which developing countries came to be at the receiving end of the resource flows? How have their terms of trade have fluctuated? What is the international economic climate? How have they reacted to various exogenous shocks? These factors have a direct bearing on the financial capabilities of the developing countries. It is therefore a necessary prelude to what follows. The thematic strands of the next three chapters have already been detailed in the preceding section. Chapter 4 divides the post-war period into smaller and functional sub-periods, and examines the bilateral flows, i.e. the transfer of official development assistance from the donor country groups, namely the OECD, OPEC and the centrally planned economies. Chapter 5 deals with the capital market flows; again these flows have been sub-divided into various sub-periods. The issues that Chapter 6 addresses relate to financial flows from the multilateral institutions. I hope that the study will contribute to building a stronger foundation for international economic and financial policies and be of interest to academics and professionals in the field of development finance and economic growth.
