Measures to Safeguard the Balance of Payments. 1. In the event of serious balance of payments and external financial difficulties or threat thereof, a Party may adopt or maintain restrictions on investments, including payments or transfers related to such investments. It is recognised that particular pressures on the balance of payments of a Party in the process of economic development may necessitate the use of restrictions to ensure, inter alia, the maintenance of a level of financial reserves adequate for the implementation of its programme of economic development.
