In the latest episode of our podcast titled “Capital Flows Monitor – Asia’s Resident Capital Flows”, the SEACEN Centre’s Ole Rummel and Rogelio Mercado discusses the findings of the SEACEN Capital Flows Monitor 2025.
Ole opened the discussion by sharing the key takeaways on the recent trends, patterns and drivers of capital flows and international investment position in the region. The main findings are: (i) Asian economies, as a group, witnessed a recovery in cross-border resident and non-resident capital flows in the first half of 2024; (ii) the region remained a net capital exporter as of mid-2024; (iii) economic growth in Asia remained robust in the first three quarters of 2024, although growth slightly slowed in the third quarter; and (iv) financial conditions generally improved in 2024, albeit regional currencies remained weak.
Rogelio discussed the motivation for considering Asia’s resident capital flows for the issue’s analytical section. He explained that the region’s resident capital flows or gross outflows witnessed marked shifts in terms of volume, composition, sectoral driver, and sources. He mentioned the importance of differentiating and understanding capital flights and retrenchments which are extreme episodes of resident capital flows.
