Treasury lifts barriers on export of capital and currency
The U S treasury ended its March 1933 exchange barriers, allowing Americans to transfer credit and currency abroad without treasury permission for ordinary commercial needs. Observers see this as a sign of no imminent inflation and a conservative monetary policy. The move reduces red tape and reflects improved confidence in the dollar as capital flows back to the United States.
