Preferred term

convertibility  

Definition

  • A currency is convertible when it can be exchanged freely for other currencies (or, in the past, gold). Restrictions on convertibility act as a barrier to international trade and capital flows; similarly, for convertibility to be meaningful, other barriers to trade must come down.
