Abstract: This study draws attention to some stylised facts suggesting that the rise of reserves in the Emerging countries is still partially unexplained. Emerging countries in the last decade seem to have reduced their exposure to the risk of short term foreign capital outflow, as they have increased GDP growth with little growth in new capital assets and short term foreign debt. Nevertheless, they have kept raising foreign reserves massively. This work constructs a model that is able to explain these stylised facts are the result of the same process of globalisation. As numerical simulations establish, the optimal solution depends crucially on two structural parameters newly introduced in this model, which account for the marginal cost of long term finance and for the competitiveness of the domestic industry.
