Talk:Capital account convertibility

Capital account convertibility allows conversion at market rates or at preset/low rates?
I understand capital account convertibility to refer to free conversion at market rates, not preset rates, nor at low rates. Is there a slightly different use of the term in India? Finnancier (talk) 07:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No... it shouldn't be!
Though they are related topics. Users will find themselves in a confused state... This happens a lot with newbies.

So, let this article be as it is! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.97.234.149 (talk) 12:11, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Capital Account Convertibility → Capital account convertibility –

Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

Dr. von Hagen's comment on this article
Dr. von Hagen has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"This article is partially wrong and mostly imprecise. CAC refers to the legal ability to exchange local financial and other assets into foreign financial and other assets and vice versa. I do not know what "country determined exchange rates" means. The proper expression would be "market-determined exchange rates."

CAC does not refer just to exchanging currency and definitely not to the transactions made by local merchants. Those transactions occur in the context of international trade. The possibility to make such transactions freely (i.e. to get foreign currency freely to pay for imports) is called Current Account Convertibility.

The idea that CAC was first coined in 1997 by the Reserve Bank of India is of course wrong. CAC is a concept that has a long history, going back at least to the foundation of the IMF in the late 1940s.

CAC is a type of legal regime, not a "theory." There are theories in international finance that analyze the implications of CAC. Krugman's work on financial and exchange rate crises is prime among those and they go back to the late 1970s."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. von Hagen has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
