A resort to indirect methods of restraining capital movements, which are not immediately considered to conflict with the obligations under the Code, was also common and increased in importance during the period. Control measures were extensively used to minimize the balance-of-payments implications of capital flows. Restrictions on the overall foreign position of financial institutions was one such measure that was used along with the application of reserve requirements, restrictions on interest payments, and other measures designed to discourage or penalize capital flows.
Where "limited reservations" apply, the items concerned may be restricted only to the extent specified in "remarks" to the reservation concerned. The interpretation of the diagram has to be cautious as until the 1989 amendment, the Code did not cover all capital movement operations. Most short-term operations, except for commercial credits and loans, were excluded. Furthermore, certain measures-like taxes on transactions and payments, two-tier exchange rate systems and currency deposit requirements-which may impede capital movements, were not considered to be restrictions in the meaning of the Code.
While the trade expansion was fueled by multilateral trade liberalization, the FDI expansion was to a large extent prompted by the global abolition of capital controls. In the future, trade and FDI should be coupled and share the same position on the international policy agenda. Trade and investment are closely connected and several different linkages between them can be identified. Ariff (1989) suggests four subdivisions of trade-related FDI :33 * Trade substituting-where foreign investment goes into import-substitution activities aimed at the domestic market; * Trade promoting-where foreign investment takes the form of offshore operations producing for the international market; * Trade complementing-where foreign investment is directed at providing backup and intra-industry support facilities in the export market; and * Trade diverting-where foreign investment moves in to take advantage of unfilled quotas under preferential arrangements such as the Generalized System of Preferences.
