Flow (Capital)
Movement of investment money; direction and quantity.
Formula
Net Capital Flow = Capital Inflows − Capital Outflows
Real World
When Apple invested $1 billion to build a data centre in Ireland, that represented a capital inflow for Ireland — boosting employment and infrastructure.
Exam Focus
Distinguish capital flow from trade flow in answers; examiners deduct marks when students confuse money movement with goods movement.
