The balance of payments of a country will be in surplus if :

With capital inflows positive, autonomous receipts exceeding payments require an offsetting accommodating outflow/reserve accumulation. Thus “accommodating capital is negative” indicates a surplus above the accommodating line. “Accommodating capital is positive” finances an autonomous deficit; “Accommodating capital is zero” corresponds to no imbalance requiring accommodation. “Accommodating capital is neither negative, positive, nor zero” is inapplicable. Total accounts still balance once all entries are included.
