TJ, Thai case doesn’t augur well to Asia. They are not prepared for capital spreading more evenly. You don’t shut down the flow. You go with it. Give you an example. Even though the country sent out USD25bn between Jan./Nov. is still among the 15 biggest receiver of capital. Used cheap USD to go buy companies since materials sector is consolidating. Exporting from your home country is not enough. Materials exporter needs to be present closer to its markets. Re-exporting capital keeps Brazilian Real at bay avoiding currency overshooting. This will continue next year. Thais were not reading the writing on the wall and thought THB would stuck forever on 40/USD. Capital spreading more evenly –which will be south-south instead of North-South in the coming years needs to be taught to countries like Thailand. Else they go back to behind the buffalo plowing rice fields. If I’d be an European or an American, I’d be watching all this and thinking strategies to keep profiting. They did this with China already.
