Mr. Mayer AP Macroeconomics The Balance of Payments

Balance of Payments Measure of money inflows and outflows between the United States and the Rest of the World (ROW) – Inflows are referred to as CREDITS – Outflows are referred to as DEBITS The Balance of Payments is divided into 3 accounts – Current Account – Capital/Financial Account – Official Reserves Account

Double Entry Bookkeeping Every transaction in the balance of payments is recorded twice in accordance with standard accounting practice. – Ex. U.S. manufacturer, John Deere, exports $50 million worth of farm equipment to Ireland. A credit of $50 million to the current account ( - $50 million worth of farm equipment or physical assets) A debit of $50 million to the capital/financial account ( + $50 million worth of Euros or financial assets) – Notice that the two transactions offset each other. Theoretically, the balance payments should always equal zero…Theoretically

Double Entry Bookkeeping Lucky for you, in AP Macroeconomics we only worry about the 1 st half of the transaction. We simplify and see the export of farm equipment as a credit (inflow of $) to the current account. Why then, did I mention double entry bookkeeping? – To illustrate my innate intelligence? – No – To help you understand that the current account and capital/financial account are intrinsically linked together and help balance each other? – Yes, that’s it!

Current Account Balance of Trade or Net Exports – Exports of Goods/Services – Import of Goods/Services – Exports create a credit to the balance of payments – Imports create a debit to the balance of payments Net Foreign Income – Income earned by U.S. owned foreign assets – Income paid to foreign held U.S. assets – Ex. Interest payments on U.S. owned Brazilian bonds – Interest payments on German owned U.S. Treasury bonds Net Transfers (tend to be unilateral) – Foreign Aid  a debit to the current account – Ex. Mexican migrant workers send money to family in Mexico

Capital/Financial Account The balance of capital ownership Includes the purchase of both real and financial assets Direct investment in the United States is a credit to the capital account – Ex. The Toyota Factory in San Antonio Direct investment by U.S. firms/individuals in a foreign country are debits to the capital account – Ex. The Intel Factory in San Jose, Costa Rica

Capital/Financial Account Purchase of foreign financial assets represents a debit to the capital account. – Ex. Warren Buffet buys stock in Petrochina. Purchase of domestic financial assets by foreigners represents a credit to the capital account. – The United Arab Emirates sovereign wealth fund purchases a large stake in the NASDAQ.

What causes Capital/Financial Flows? Differences in rates of return on investment Ceteris Paribus, savings will flow toward higher returns r% Q LF China S LF China D LF USA r% Q LF USA S LF USA D LF China S LF 1 Debit to the Chinese Capital Account Credit to the U.S. Capital Account     

Relationship between Current and Capital Account Remember double entry bookkeeping? The Current Account and the Capital Account should zero each other out. That is… If the Current Account has a negative balance (deficit), then the Capital Account should then have a positive balance (surplus). Ex. The constant net inflow of foreign financial capital to the United States (capital account surplus) is what enables us to import more than we export (current account deficit)

Official Reserves The foreign currency holdings of the United States Federal Reserve System When there is a balance of payments surplus the Fed accumulates foreign currency and debits the balance of payments. When there is a balance of payments deficit the Fed depletes its reserves of foreign currency and credits the balance of payments The Official Reserves zero out the balance of payments

Active v. Passive Official Reserves The United States is passive in its use of official reserves. It does not seek to manipulate the dollar exchange rate. The People’s Republic of China is active in its use of official reserves. It actively buys and sells dollars in order to maintain a steady exchange rate with the United States.

Let’s have fun with the Balance of Payments! Classify each as either a credit or a debit to the U.S. Balance of Payments – Paris Hilton buys a majority share in Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung. – Queen Elizabeth II imports a Dodge Viper to the U.K. – Bank of America purchases $200 million worth of Euros. – Homer Simpson buys a new Ferrari, the Enzo. – Malaysian government purchases a new Boeing 787. – The United States Federal Reserve System sells $4 billion worth of U.S. currency in the foreign exchange market.
