4. INTRODUCTION
There is no country in the world today which produces all the
Goods & Services which it needs.
Every country, therefore, tries to produce those goods &
services in which it has comparative advantage.
It exchanges part of those Goods & Services with the goods
& Services produced by other countries relatively more
efficiently.
The relative differences in factor endowments, technology,
taste etc., among the nations of the world have greatly
widened the basis of international trade.

restrictions on trade,

and services produced by the foreign sector and purchased by
the domestic economy.

12. CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT
The current account deficit is a measurement of a country’s
trade where the value of the goods and services it imports
exceeds the value of the products it exports.
The current account includes net income, such as interest and
dividends, and transfers, such as foreign aid, although these
components make up only a small percentage of the total
current account.
The current account represents a country’s foreign
transactions and, like the capital account, is a component of a
country’s balance of payments (BOP).
