AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Immigrants may not have the skills necessary to find work

Explanation:

The majority of the immigrants that came into Europe in the past few years mostly moved into the most developed countries of Western Europe and Scandinavia. These countries offered very good conditions for the immigrants so that is why they preferred them.

Because of that, the majority of them have skills that are suitable for those types of economy, but do not posses the skills to be effective and productive in the well developed industrialized economies.

In many countries, the ability of residents and nonresidents to convert local currency into a foreign currency is restricted by

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Limited convertibility

Explanation:

Limited Convertibility refers to a situation in which government regulations prevent the free conversion of the home currency into a foreign one. Because the government is only able to regulate currency transactions within its borders, foreigners are still able to trade the currency. Only residents are unable to convert a currency with limited convertibility.

Countries that are in the process of moving to a more open economy may need to open up currency restrictions in steps rather than all at once. This has been the case in the development of countries that once had centrally planned economies, as opening up domestic markets would subject the home market to foreign competition.
