Question:

Which of the following items will be recorded in the capital account of the Balance of Payments account?

Options:

Net investment income.

Gifts, grants and remittances.

Net income from compensation of employees.

Offshore funds.

Correct Answer:

Offshore funds.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Offshore funds.

The Capital Account of the Balance of Payments (BoP) records all transactions that lead to a change in the assets or liabilities of a country in relation to the rest of the world — i.e., movement of capital.

Offshore funds involve financial investments and capital flows between countries, so they are recorded in the Capital Account.
