In such a context, it is not surprising that, in developing countries, the volume of credit was always perceived as more effective than the price of credit as an instrument of monetary policy. The practice has changed in the recent past since the deregulation of domestic financial sectors has led to the emergence of markets for financial assets. This should have made interest rates a more potent instrument. Ironically enough, it has not, because capital account convertibility has curbed flexibility in the use of interest rates. Industrialized economies are not immune from the fetters of international financial markets, but the reach of monetary policy is significantly greater than in developing countries.
