,1. Introduction
1.1 Balance of payment
Definition The balance of payments (BoP) is used to capture all economic transactions which take
place among residents and foreigners within a particular period of time in a systematic manner.

Major characteristics of the Balance of Payments:

- Flows (period of time), no stocks (point in time) -> “balance” misleading
- Several sub-balances* -> depend on type of transaction
- Double entry bookkeeping -> each transaction is recorded twice
- Methodological framework internationally harmonised -> comparability

* the two major sub-balances are: the current account (CA)and the financial account (FA).

Current account (CA) – Transactions with direct impact on domestic income




Financial account (FA) – International financial transactions of private and public actors




Domestic point of view – double entry bookkeeping of the current account balance and financial
account balance

,CA + FA = 0
