Warum es wichtig ist
A current-account deficit must be financed by foreign capital, which makes a currency vulnerable when investors turn cautious; a surplus country lends to the world. Capital-flow data show whether foreigners are buying the country's bonds and shares. Tourism and remittances are large sources of foreign currency for some economies.
So wird gerechnet
The balance of payments records every transaction with non-residents: goods, services, income, transfers (current account) and investment (financial account); the two mirror each other.
Current account = trade balance + primary income + secondary income
Current account + capital account + financial account ≈ 0Was Veränderungen bedeuten
- A deficit above about 4–5% of GDP is often seen as a risk for emerging-market currencies.
- Large foreign purchases of local bonds support the currency.
Höher als erwartet: A larger surplus or stronger inflows than expected tend to support the New Zealand dollar.
Niedriger als erwartet: A larger deficit or weaker inflows than expected tend to weigh on the New Zealand dollar.
Eine kurze Geschichte
Balance-of-payments accounting was standardised by the International Monetary Fund after 1945; current-account crises shaped events from the 1990s emerging-market crises to the euro debt crisis.
New Zealand was the first country to adopt formal inflation targeting, in 1990.
