Our measure of financial sector-specific capital controls is based on whether the AREAER documents provisions that apply only to the financial sector, and that discriminate based on the residency of the parties to the transaction. Specifically, whether measures exist that (i) impose limits on financial sector borrowing from abroad; (ii) restrict the maintenance of accounts abroad; or (iii) impose differential treatment of accounts held by nonresidents (e.g., different reserve/liquid asset requirements, interest rate, or credit controls). Each type of restriction, if it exists, is assigned a value of one (and zero otherwise), and this information is used to create two composite measures—a simple average of restrictions on (i) the financial sector's borrowing from abroad, and (ii) differential treatment of accounts held by nonresidents (labeled Fincont1), and an average of all the three components: (i) differentia treatment of accounts held by nonresidents; (ii) limits on borrowing from abroad; and (iii) restrictions on maintenance of accounts abroad.
