  2. Composition of the BP • Major sub-balances: • Trade of goods • Trade of services • Unilateral transfers • Capital in- and outflows • Errors and omissions • Reserve position

  3. The Trade Balance • Trade in goods (“visibles” • Trade in services (“invisibles”) • We will use the symbol “NX” (net exports) for this account
