Brief overview of the IPF
Motivation for the IPF International capital flows can provide significant benefits, but can also pose challenges Policy rate and exchange rate flexibility may not always be satisfactory, especially in case of frictions and vulnerabilities that many EMs and LICs face, for example: Shallow FX markets Sizable balance sheet currency mismatches Poorly anchored inflation expectations
