repatriation of profits

Repatriation of profit is the ability of a firm to send foreign‐earned profits or financial assets back to the firm's home country in hard currency such as USD, EUR and others, after meeting the host nation's tax obligations. Proponents of profit repatriation argue that it encourages foreign direct investments (FDIs). Opponents argue that profit repatriation boosts another country's economy. Accordingly, different countries impose different restrictions for profit repatriation.
