Answer:

Basic textbook models, such as the Mundell-Fleming model, say that capital inflow occurs due to the domestic interest rate being higher than the world interest rate, and thus capital inflow. So according to this model, it can lower interest rates so that interest rates stabilize to the world interest rate.
