Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net capital outflow as a percentage of GDP refers to the difference between the amount of money leaving a country and the amount of money coming into the country. If this number is negative, it means that more money is leaving the country than coming in, which is known as a capital outflow. Between 2000-2004, this number became larger (i.e., more negative), indicating a greater amount of capital outflow. Therefore, the correct answer is C, a larger negative number.
