Preferred term

capital repatriation  

Definition

  • Repatriation is the return of something or someone to its home country, originally referring to the return of soldiers to their homeland at war's end. In economics, it is used to refer to the conversion of money, as when tourists convert their currency back to their native currency when returning from a trip—or when capital from a foreign investment travels back to the country of its source, either through dividends or when a foreign investor sells his holdings.
