Cross-border rules
What may move across a border, and under what rule — export-proceeds repatriation, capital controls, cash-declaration thresholds, travel allowances, licensed-channel and documentation requirements — normalized so one rule is comparable across markets. Rules, not rates — never an exchange rate.
