Abstract
Capital controls are any restrictions on the movement of capital into or out of a country. Capital controls can take a wide variety of forms. For example, capital controls can be quantity-based or price-based, or apply to only capital inflows, only capital outflows, or all types of capital flows. Capital controls can also be directed at different types of capital flows (such as at bank loans, foreign direct investment or portfolio investment) or at different types of actors (such as at companies, banks, governments or individuals).
