How prevalent were these measures in the years leading up to the 2008 global financial crisis? The detailed snapshot of the individual measures comprising the various indices that were in place in our sample of emerging market economies in 2007. Around one half of the countries had controls on bond inflows, with slightly fewer having controls on portfolio equity and even fewer on FDI flows. Somewhat surprisingly, capital controls specific to the financial sector were not more common than economy-wide controls. FX-related policies tend to be the most common type of measure, with over half of the countries imposing restrictions on lending locally in FX, and stricter requirements for deposit accounts in FX. Virtually all countries had limits on banks' open FX positions.
