Investopedia explains 'Exchange Control'

Typically, countries that employ exchange controls are those with weaker economies. These controls allow countries a greater degree of economic stability by limiting the amount of exchange rate volatility due to currency inflows/outflows.

The International Monetary Fund has a provision called article 14, which only allows countries with transitional economies to employ foreign exchange controls.
