capital controls  

Definition

  • Capital controls are measures used by governments to restrict the flow of money in and out of a country. There are many forms of capital controls, ranging from administrative requirements for transactions (e.g., allowing transfers of funds only with permits, prohibitions on certain types of transactions) to market-based controls (e.g., a tax on types of transactions, use of multiple exchange rates to discriminate against a class of transactions).
