Net Capital Outflow

Net Capital Outflow (NCO) is the net flow of funds being invested abroad by a country during a certain period of time (usually a year).

NCO is one of two major ways of characterizing the nature of a country's financial and economic interaction with the rest of the world (the other being the balance of trade).
