    " In Macroeconomics and international finance, the capital account (also known as financial account) is one of two primary components of the balance of payments, the other being the current account. Whereas the current account reflects a nation's net income , the capital account reflects net change in national ownership of assets.
    The term "capital account" is used with a narrower meaning by the IMF and affiliated sources. The IMF splits what the rest of the world call the capital account into two top level divisions: financial account and capital account, with by far the bulk of the transactions being recorded in its financial account.
