In a country's balance of payments, the capital account features transactions that lead to changes in the overseas financial assets and liabilities. These include investments abroad and inward capital flows. Capital account convertibility implies the freedom to convert domestic financial assets into overseas financial assets at market determined rates.

It can also imply conversion of overseas financial assets into domestic financial assets. Broadly, it would mean freedom for firms and residents to freely buy into overseas assets such as equity, bonds, property and acquire ownership of overseas firms besides, free repatriation of proceeds by foreign investors.

Capital account convertibility is participation in the country's attractiveness for foreign capital.

It allows the repatriation of earnings of foreign investors.

On the other hand, it's capital flight and it allows the volatility in exchange rates, fluctuations in foreign exchange reserves and interest rates.
