Structural Risks of Foreign Liabilities: Impact of Investment Income Repatriation in Emerging Economies
Tóm tắt
This paper explores the structure of foreign liabilities, the extent of capital repatriation in the form of investment income of foreign investors and its impact in emerging markets. The concept “coverage ratio of foreign investment” is introduced, which is defined as the share of total income repatriated by foreign investors in the respective cumulative inflows of the financial account. The impact of foreign investors’ returns onto external imbalances in emerging economies is studied empirically. The tendency of growing role of the investment income balance in the formation of the current account balance reveals new threats for the emerging economies.
