Other capitalIn the balance of payments, other capital is a residual category that groups all the capital transactions that have not been included in direct investment, portfolio investment, and reserves categories. It is divided into long-term capital and short-term capital and, because of its residual status, can differ from country to country. Generally speaking, other long-term capital includes most nonnegotiable instruments of a year or more, like bank loans and mortgages. Other short-term capital includes financial assets that can be liquidated in less than a year such as currency, deposits, and bills.Other capital Similar MatchesCrony capitalismCrony capitalismUsed to describe a capitalist economy in which government or corporate officials and insiders provide lucrative opportunities for their friends and relatives.
