Econ Ed Link: Balance of Payments (Bop)

Curated by ACT

International trade allows countries to buy and sell both domestic and foreign goods, as well as services and financial assets. A country's transactions are summarized in a set of accounts called the Balance of Payments (BOP). Students will learn how to record transactions in the BOP accounts, and why the sum of the current account and capital account must equal zero.
