Short-term capital flows generally refer to the short-term nature of capital flows, such as currency exchange on the foreign exchange market or stock buying and selling on the stock market. Short-term capital flows are usually driven by speculative capital and are often volatile and short-lived. Long-term capital flow refers to the direct investment and long-term debt investment of multinational enterprises, which are usually stable and long-term.

Capital flow is influenced by many factors, including monetary policy, interest rate, inflation, international investment environment, political stability, tax policy, etc. The scale and direction of capital flows will also affect the economic conditions of countries and regions.
