The traditional view to which the capital-exporting states have consistently adhered is that expropriation of alien-owned property must be prompt, adequate and effective. "Prompt" means that the compensation must be paid at or before the time of taking or that provision has been made for its subsequent determination, with interest at compensatory rates from the time of taking. "Effective" means that the payment must be made in realizable exportable form; payment in nonconvertible currency, unmarketable bonds or I.O.U.s is not effective. "Adequate" means that the owner must be compensated for the full value of the property of which he has been deprived, which in the case of an ongoing business will normally be going-concern value.

If, as is uniformly asserted, the purpose is to make the owner whole for his loss, compounding is plainly required.
