  11. When the aggregate exports of goods from the country during the period exceed its aggregate import, the balance of trade is said to be favorable or surplus or positive and vice a versa.

  12. 2) Invisibles • A) Services • Travel • Transportation • Insurance • Miscellaneous • B) Transfers • Official • Private • C) Investment income

  13. II) Capital account • It represents transfer of money and other capital items and changes in the country’s foreign assets and liabilities resulting from the transactions recorded in current account.

  15. III) Official reserve account • Official reserves are government owned assets. • The official reserve account represents only purchases and sales by the central bank of the country.

  16. Example.. • If a country has a BOP deficit, the central bank will have to either run down its official reserve assts such as gold, foreign exchange and SDR or borrow fresh from foreign central banks. • Or if a country has a BOP surplus, its central bank will either acquire additional reserve assts from foreigners or retire some of its debt.

  17. BOP accounting principles..

  18. Credit transactions (+) • Are receipts of payment from foreigners. • Like- • Exports of goods or services • Unilateral transfers (gifts) received from foreigners • Capital inflows

  19. Capital inflows • It can take either of the two forms- • An increase in foreign assts of the nation. • A reduction in the nation’s assets abroad.

  20. Example.. • A US resident purchases an Indian stock. This is a capital inflow to India because it involves the receipt of a payment from a foreigner and thus foreign assets in India go up. • When an Indian resident sells a foreign stock. This is a capital inflow to India because it involves receipt of a payment from a foreigner, thus Indian assts abroad decreases.

  21. Debit transactions (-) • Are the payment of foreign exchange. • Like- • Imports of goods and services • Unilateral transfers (gifts) made to foreigners • Capital outflows

  24. BOP disequilibrium • BOP is said to be in equilibrium when the demand for foreign exchange is exactly equivalent to the supply of it. • It is at disequilibrium when it shows either a surplus or deficit. • There will be deficit in BOP when the demand for foreign exchange exceeds its supply, and there will be a surplus when supply for foreign exchange exceeds the demand
