The document discusses the international balance of payments, which records transactions between countries. It has three components: the current account, capital account, and official financing. The current account records trade in goods and services, while the capital account records cross-border investment flows. Official financing shows changes in foreign exchange reserves. A country's balance of payments must always balance, and imbalances are corrected by changes in the exchange rate or official reserves. Trade deficits can be problematic if due to overconsumption rather than investment.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. THE INTERNATIONAL BALANCE OF
PAYMENTS
The components of the balance of payments:
Current account
Capital account
Official financing
National income determination and foreign trade
3. Economies are becoming more “open” (in terms of trade as % of
GDP), but some countries are more open than others…
Exports and imports as % of GDP
1990 2003
Mauritius 153 121
Zambia 99 76
Chile 64 68
China 29 66
UK 51 54
Argentina 15 40
Bangladesh 20 37
India 17 31
Brazil 14 30
United States 20 23

4. Higher degree of openness => structure of production and
employment, and economic growth, are more likely to be
affected by external events
The balance of payments provides and indication of how
international trade and external events feed back
into the macroeconomy
This presentation describes how balance of payments
accounts are recorded and then explores the link
between the balance of payments and a country’s
exchange rate
5. THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP)
ACCOUNTS
A country’s balance of payments accounts record its
international trading position and its lending and
borrowing
=> records transactions between countries
6. Each transaction is classified according to the payment or
receipts that it generates
Transactions that generate a receipt of a payment from
foreigners are a credit item in the accounts with a + sign
⇒ These represent a supply of foreign exchange ($) and a demand for
the local currency (£)
Transactions that comprise a payment to foreigners are
reported as a debit item with a - sign
=> These represent demand for foreign exchange ($) and a supply of
the local currency (£)
7. THREE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP)
ACCOUNTS
a) The balance of payments on Current Account
b) The balance of payments on Capital Account
c) The balance for Official Financing
(International reserves account operated by central
bank)
8. Let us consider two countries:
the United Kingdom:
local or domestic
currency: British pounds (£)
the United States:
foreign
currency: US follars ($)
9. A) THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS ON
CURRENT ACCOUNT
Records transactions arising from trade in goods and
services
The visible trade balance
payments and receipts from the import/export of tangible
goods (cars, food, textiles,…)
The invisibles trade balance
payments and receipts for financial services, shipping and
tourism, interest and dividends payments on investments, etc.
…
10. b) The balance of payments on Capital
Account
Records transactions related to international
movements in the ownership of financial assets
The purchase of foreign investments by UK citizens
brings assets to the UK (in exchange for money) and are
referred to as a capital outflow
to purchase these foreign assets, locals have to buy $
=> debit (negative) entry in the Capital Account
11. b) The balance of payments on Capital
Account (cont.)
Foreign investment into the UK increases UK liabilities to
foreigners, and it is a capital inflow
foreigners have to buy £ to undertake their investments
⇒ credit (positive) entry in the Capital Account
The Capital Account is further divided into short-term and
long-term capital flows
12. The supply of £s reflects imports to the UK and UK
purchases of foreign assets
=> outflows in the UK balance of payments
The demand for £s reflects UK exports and sales of UK
assets to foreigners
⇒ inflows in the UK balance of payments
13. The exchange rate is the price of the £ in terms of other
currencies (e.g. $)
If the exchange rate is freely floating then it will adjust
to ensure that the demand for £s = the supply of £s
inflows = outflows in the BoP BoP is exactly = zero
Since BoP = Current Account + Capital Account:
a Current Account surplus => a Capital Account deficit
a Current Account deficit => a Capital Account surplus
14. c) The balance for Official Financing
If the exchange rate is fixed, and there is a BoP deficit
outflows > inflows supply of £s > demand for £s
The Central Bank must offset this excess supply of £s by
buying them with foreign currency ($); i.e. runs down its
reserves of foreign exchange
15. c) The balance for Official Financing
(cont)
The balance for official financing shows the net increase
or decrease in a country’s holdings of foreign currency
reserves:
A decrease in the official reserves is reported as a credit item
(+), since it involves the purchase of £s
an increase is reported as a debit item (-)
=> If the exchange rate is freely floating,
then the balance for official financing is
zero
16. The balance of payments must always balance since the
accounts are constructed such that this must be true by
definition
However, there can be measurement error and unreported
borrowing from abroad and other illegal activities
⇒ The discrepancy represents a combination of unrecorded
current and capital account transactions
This requires the inclusion of what is referred to as a
balancing item, to ensure the accounts balance in
practice
17. NATIONAL INCOME IDENTITIES
AND THE CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE
Recall the aggregate expenditure equation in
our study of macroeconomics:
AE (=AD) = C + I + G + X - M
Leakages are:
S + T + M
Injections are:
I + G + X
=> In equilibrium: injections = leakages
S + T + M = I + G + X
18. The balance of payments on Current Account could be re-
written as:
(X - M) = (T - G) + (S - I)
or
(M - X) = (G - T) + (I - S)
trade = government + private
sector
deficit balance balance
19. ⇒ Trade deficit = government deficit + priv. sector deficit
⇒ An increase in govt. expenditure (G), or a reduction in
private saving (S) worsens the trade balance (i.e. raises
trade deficit)
20. ARE TRADE DEFICITS A PROBLEM?
A trade deficit is not necessarily a bad thing (e.g. when
growing domestic industries attract foreign investments)
if borrowing is financing investment (which generates
economic growth and income in future) then it is not a problem
However, if a country persistently runs a trade deficit
this is something to worry about (e.g. vulnerability to loss
of foreign investors’ confidence)
excessive borrowing on capital account to finance consumption
on current account will incur higher interest payments and
eventually lead to reduction consumption
