According to Article 8 of the IMF Agreement "General Obligations of Member States", a country's currency must meet three conditions to become a spot exchange:
1. There are no restrictions on current transactions (trade and non trade payments) and fund transfers in the country's balance of payments.
2. Do not adopt discriminatory monetary measures or exchange rates for multiple currencies.
3. At the request of another Member State, it is obligated to repurchase the domestic currency remaining in the other party's current account transactions at any time.
Freely convertible currencies are widely used in international exchange settlement, freely traded in the international financial market, and can be freely exchanged into the currencies of other countries without restrictions. In international trade, the import and export trade settled in these freely convertible currencies is called spot exchange trade.
