Capital Account Convertibility means freedom to convert local financial assets into foreign assets at market-determined exchange rates which leads to free exchange of currency at lower rates and an unrestricted mobility of capital. This is beneficial for a country because inflow of foreign investment increases and the flip side though, is that it could destabilise an economy due to massive capital flows in and out of the country.
