Which one of the following items is included in the Capital Account of the balance of payments of a country?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under the traditional broad capital-account terminology, commercial borrowings are cross-border financial flows. Investment income, ordinary invisibles such as services, and private current transfers belong in the current account. Under modern IMF terminology borrowing is in the financial account rather than the narrow capital account; the answer uses the source’s traditional classification.
