About this work
Why did a more accommodative Federal Reserve fail to lift many emerging market currencies in early 2019? Jonathan Fortun, Robin Brooks and Tariq Khan suggest that accumulated investor positions after years of easy monetary policy limited the response to further easing. Excluding China, the recovery in flows appeared weak, with meaningful first quarter inflows concentrated in Indonesia and Mexico.
