The dramatic reversal of emerging market portfolio flows following the global spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) highlights the challenges of managing volatile portfolio flows and risks they may pose to financial stability. A prolonged period of low interest rates had encouraged both borrowers and lenders to take on more risk. Surges of portfolio inflows into riskier asset markets contributed to the buildup of debt and, in some cases, resulted in stretched valuations. This chapter quantifies the sensitivities of different types of portfolio flows and the associated cost of funding to global and domestic factors during “normal” times as well as during periods of weak or strong flows. Analysis suggests that both bond and equity flows are much more sensitive to global financial conditions during periods of extreme flows than in normal times, while domestic fundamentals may matter incrementally more for equities and local currency bond flows. Furthermore, greater foreign investor participation in local currency bond markets that lack adequate depth can greatly increase the volatility of bond yields. Dealing with immediate capital outflow pressures calls for using reserves to reduce excessive volatility, deploying capital flow management measures, and preparing for long-term external funding disruptions.
