Q. What is the primary meaning of the term "hot money"?
Answer: Currency used for speculative capital flows
Notes: Hot money refers to funds that are transferred between financial markets for short-term profit, often in response to interest rate differentials. This capital is highly mobile and can lead to volatility in exchange rates and financial markets. Historically, hot money flows have influenced economic stability, particularly in emerging markets, where sudden withdrawals can destabilize local economies.
