Por qué importa
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.
Cómo se calcula

Current account = trade balance + primary income + secondary income
Current account + capital account + financial account ≈ 0Qué significan los cambios
