Capital flight, in economics, occurs when assets or money rapidly flow out of a country, due to an event of economic consequence. Such events could be an increase in taxes on capital or capital holders or the government of the country defaulting on its debt that disturbs investors and causes them to lower their valuation of the assets in that country, or otherwise to lose confidence in its economic strength.
This leads to a disappearance of wealth, and is usually accompanied by a sharp drop in the exchange rate of the affected country - depreciation in a variable exchange rate regime, or a forced devaluation in a fixed exchange rate regime.
This fall is particularly damaging when the capital belongs to the people of the affected country, because not only are the citizens now burdened by the loss in the economy and devaluation of their currency, but probably also, their assets have lost much of their Real versus nominal value (economics)|nominal value. This leads to dramatic decreases in the purchasing power of the country's assets and makes it increasingly expensive to import goods and acquire and form of foreign facilities i.e. medical facilities.
Capital flight can be an important barrier to economic growth and development. In this video we look at some of the causes and consequences of capital flight.
Capital flight is the uncertain and rapid movement of large sums of money out of a country. The UK’s Overseas Development Institute (ODI) defines capital flight as "the outflow of resident capital which is motivated by economic and political uncertainty.”
