overall self-financing capability

Sorry Cristina because my reply is almost identical to yours, but I prefer "overall"
Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Benham : You are correct to do so; either "overall" or "total". As I said to Cristina, "global" is a bit of a faux ami here.

overall self-financing capacity

No reason I can see to prefer "capability" over the more common and overall semantically more sensible "capacity" here as far as I can see.
