US Fed’s monetary policy tightening has induced capital outflows from emerging economies, inducing, coupled with internal problems, serious financial instability in the markets of Turkey and Argentina. Central banks have launched policies to arrest the plunge in the markets of developing countries. The achieved market stability may be short-lived, however.

Key words: United States FED, emerging markets, central banks of developing countries, financial instability, capital flight.
