Repatriation refers to the act of returning funds, profits, or assets that were previously transferred or earned in foreign locations back to their country of origin or the home country of the entity. This term is commonly used in the context of multinational corporations, where profits from overseas operations are brought back to the home country. It also applies to individuals moving funds or investments to their home country or relocating to manage finances, such as pensions or inheritance. For example, a company earning revenue in foreign markets might repatriate those earnings by converting the foreign currency back to the domestic currency and transferring it to their domestic bank account. Managing repatriation often involves consideration of taxes, currency exchange rates, and the regulatory framework of both countries involved.
