    So the net transfers would be seen as an inflow on the current account if the inflows in transfers were greater than outflows? Meaning that the US sends more money in the form of transfers out of the country than they receive? Great vid by the way, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!

  • @mre5807

    I do not get why the BoP has to balance - I'm pretty confused. For instance, let's say NX are positive; that means there is money coming into the economy via Exports (more so than has left through Imports). Why not just spend that money on stuff in our economy? Why does it have to back out through the Capital Account?

    • @admcdoug
      @admcdoug 9 років тому +13

      think about it this way: lets say the U.S. has a CA surplus with Canada. That means Canada is some how importing more than it's exporting. How can Canada afford that? The only way is that there is some other money coming into Canada, such as foreign investments from the U.S., which show up as a plus in the capital account.

    • @mre5807
      @mre5807 9 років тому

      Alex McDougall Thanks but couldn't Canada just dig into some of their consumption/savings from elsewhere to fund the imports? And from what you've said the causality runs: capital account surplus implies a current account deficit? Is that correct? In other words, if a country wants to do more importing, they have to borrow more (KA surplus), only then can they have a CA deficit (importing)?

    • @admcdoug
      @admcdoug 9 років тому +3

      Mr E Exactly. Another good example: US/China - U.S., huge CA deficit; China, huge surplus. How? China purchases U.S. debt securities and currency (ie. KA deficit for China, KA surplus for U.S.). Good question - can you fund imports in other ways? I think the the issue is that importing countries need foreign exchange - which is acquired by exporting. So if Canada wants to buy something from the U.S., the Canadian needs U.S. dollars, which can only come from the U.S through either the CA or the KA.

    • @mre5807
      @mre5807 9 років тому

      Alex McDougall Awesome, thank you! Last question is about repayments on loans. Let's say I (and I'm a country here) owe you (you're also a country) £100 but perhaps you need it in $ (because let's suppose you're American). How would this trade proceed if no one is willing to buy £s in exchange for dollars? (i.e. no one wants to buy my exports or lend me money)

    • @ohedd
      @ohedd 8 років тому +2

      You buy the money at the prevailing exchange rate. If nobody wants your money at a certain exchange rate then it means your money is too expensive, and you lower the price of £ until the price is right.

    can someone explain please?

    • @haonayba6184
      @haonayba6184 4 роки тому +5

      Depends on Exchange rates.
      If smol country exchange rate depreciates (weakens) against rest of world, it costs more to buy foreign goods. This means that the people of the small country will spend more money on home goods instead of foreign goods. This means imports increase.
      What happened to exports?
      Because the currency of the small country depreciated, its goods become cheaper for foreign countries. The small country can therefore increase its exports, as there is greater demand for them. Trade balance is exports - imports.
      There was a decrease in imports and an increase in exports so trade balance increased.
      Hope this helped. Trade balance also depends on changes in real income and other factors.

    • @AnkitGupta-ll6mz
      @AnkitGupta-ll6mz 4 роки тому +1

      If inflation is high in your country the value of your currency depletes. Now, if you wants to import from other countries then you need to pay more than what you used to pay as your currency value is deprecated due to inflation so, either you will refrain from importing or will import less. While for a foreigner the goods of your country has become cheap as your currency value has become low so he will import from your country. Your country export increases. So, increase in your country export and decrease in your import will decrease your country's current account defecit.

  • @thomasplanell836
    @thomasplanell836 10 років тому

    USA having current account deficit means that $474B dollars have to be traded for their equivalent in one's foreign currency. So Current account deficit lowers USD rate against such foreign currency while a Current Account Surplus would require foreigners to trade their currency for USD in order to honor their payments. Right?

  • @RogueLawyer666
    @RogueLawyer666 9 років тому +1

    Can someone help me out on this one, it's pretty urgent and I don't have a single idea what it means.
    For e.g. if say China has a big NX of $5bn (NX>$0), but a small capital account.
    Therefore they have a positive BOP of $5bn.
    Thus they have a outflow of funds of -$5bn (change in KA is -$5bn to balance the BOP)
    1. So what does it mean by a small capital account yet they have a huge outflow of funds (sizeable change in capital account)??
    2. Won't that means now they have a huge capital account now after the change even if they have a small capital account from the start?
