Sumario:Currency convertibility -- defined in the broadest sense as the right to convert freely and without limit a currency into any other at the prevailing exchange rate -- is the linchpin of today's globalized world economy. To assess the importance of convertibility, it is only necessary to point out that a system of well-managed convertible national currencies imparts to the international arena advantages analogous to those resulting from the introduction of money in a national economy, most notably, the elimination of barter (and the need for coincidence of needs) as a basis for international trade and the provision of an instrument for the development of financial markets.
Notas:"Papers presented at a seminar held in Marrakesh, Morocco, December 16-18, 1993."
