Which of the following items will be recorded in the capital account of the Balance of Payments account? |
Net investment income. Gifts, grants and remittances. Net income from compensation of employees. Offshore funds. |
Offshore funds. |
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.
