UPDATE: Global Banks Urge Forex Rise To Cool Capital Flows.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Emerging countries
should strengthen their currencies to cool off
cash and investment flows threatening to
overheat their economies, the Institute of
International Finance, a trade group of the world's
largest banks, said Monday.
The IIF expects capital flows to developing nations
to surge to nearly $1 trillion dollars this year. And
although that is well shy of the pre-crisis level of
$1.7 trillion in 2007, strong inflation and the rising
risk of housing market and other asset bubbles
have ratcheted up pressure on developing
nations such as China, India, Brazil and Turkey.
