Correct Answer: It is earning more income from its foreign investments than it is paying out


Solution : The correct answer is (a) It is earning more income from its foreign investments than it is paying out.

The financial account of the Balance of Payments records transactions related to changes in ownership of financial assets and liabilities between residents and non-residents. A surplus in the financial account means that a country is receiving more income from its foreign investments, such as dividends, interest, and profits, than it is paying out to foreign investors.
