Cevap

The correct measure is exchange control, which directly limits access to foreign currency needed for import transactions.
Exchange control is a financial trade barrier where the government, through the central bank, limits and allocates the amount of foreign exchange available to importers. By restricting foreign currency availability, the country effectively curbs foreign trade inflows to protect its balance of payments and foreign reserves.
