Balance of Payment ARVIND KUMAR PAREEK K.V. NO. 5 II SHIFT JAIPUR

Balance of Payment “The balance of payment of a country is a systematic record of all economic transactions (i.e. transactions in goods, services and assets) between the residents of a country and the rest of the world, during a year.”

Accounts of Balance of Payments and their components Current Account – “Transactions relating to trade in goods and services and transfer payments constitute the current account.” It records inflows and outflows of foreign exchange relating to current transactions of goods, services and unilateral transfers.

Components of Current Account Visible Trade – It includes the exports and imports of all physical goods. The difference in the value of exports and imports of goods is called as trade balance. Therefore – Trade balance = balanced (if Imports = Exports) = Surplus (if Imports < Exports) = Deficit (if Imports > Exports)

2. Invisible Trade – Trade in services is called invisible trade 2.Invisible Trade – Trade in services is called invisible trade. Because they can not be seen to cross national borders. It can be divided in to two follwing sub-groups: Factor Income – It includes factor payments ( wages, salaries, interest, rent, royalty and profit). Non factor Income – It includes payments for a number of services rendered and received by the residents of a country from or to the countries of rest of the world.( transportation services, financial services such as insurance and banking, service provided by foreign tourists and students)

3.Transfer Payments – Transfer payments refer to those receipts or payments which take place without getting any thing in return. These payments includes unilateral transfers like foreign gifts, donations, military aid, and foreign assistance. Transfer payments are of two types: (i) official transfer payments given by foreign governments. (ii) private transfer payments given by the foreign residents.

Components of capital account – Capital account – Capital account represents international capital transactions which includes sale and purchase of assets such as bonds, equities, lands and bank accounts etc. Components of capital account – Foreign Investment – It includes foreign direct investment and portfolio investment. (a) Foreign Direct Investment refers to the purchase of asset (physical) by the foreigners which gives control over the asset. (b) Portfolio Investment refers to the purchase of an asset that does not give the purchaser control over the asset. 2. Loans – Borrowings and lending of funds is an important component of India’s capital account. These are of two types: (a) External Assistance- it means borrowings from foreign countries under concessional rate of interest. (b) Commercial Borrowings – Borrowings by government and the private sector from world money market at higher rate of interest. 3. Banking capital transactions – it includes all financial transactions by the commercial banks and deposits by NRIs who keeps their surplus funds with Indian banks.

Difference Between Current account and Capital account Current account deals with payments for currently produced goods and services. On the other hand capital account deals with international sale and purchase of assets. Current account has a direct influence on the level of national income. On the other hand capital account influences the volume of assets which a country holds. Current account includes all items of a flow nature, hence current account is a flow concept. On the other hand capital account includes all items expressing changes in stocks, hence it is a stock concept.

Current Account Balance = (Visible Exports + Invisible Exports) – (Visible Imports + Invisible Imports) OR = Balance of Trade + Balance of Invisibles Capital Account Balance = Receipts from the sale of domestic assets – Spending on buying foreign assets Balance of Payment = Current Account Balance + Capital Account Balance Surplus BOP – When total receipts > total payments Deficit BOP – When total receipts < total payments Balance BOP – When total receipts = total payments

Balance of Payment Balance of Current Balance of Capital Account Trade Balance of Invisibles & Transfer Payments Exports Imports Inflows Outflows Debt Creating Non Debt

Balance of Payment is always in Balance Overall balance of payment is the sum total of BOP on current account and BOP on capital account. Balance of Payment of a country is always in balance because of the following: Balance of Payment = Current account Balance + Capital account Balance Current Account (Surplus) + Capital Account (Deficit) Or Current Account (Deficit) + Capital Account (Surplus) In case the value of capital account surplus is not equal to the value of current account deficit, the country will take resort to its foreign exchange reserves. In case capital account surplus is more than the current account deficit, the balance will be transferred to foreign exchange reserves.

Autonomous Items in BOP – Autonomous transactions refer to those international economic transactions which are taken with the motive of profit. The main autonomous items are: (i) imports and exports of goods and services. (ii) unilateral transactions (receipts and payments) (iii) capital transactions (receipts and payments) Accommodating Items in BOP – Accommodating transactions refers to those transactions which are taken up by the government in order to keep the balance of payments, balanced. Such as addition and withdrawal of foreign reserves.

Foreign Exchange Market – The market in which foreign currencies are bought and sold is called foreign exchange market. Foreign Exchange Rate – The rate at which one currency is exchanged for the other is known as the rate of exchange or foreign exchange rate. It expresses currency’s external value or purchasing power in terms of foreign currency.

Different concepts of Exchange Rate Nominal Exchange Rate (NER) – The price of foreign currency in terms of domestic is known as nominal exchange rate. Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (NEER) – is the weighted average of nominal rates, the weights being the shares of the respective countries in its foreign trade. Real Exchange Rate (RER) – The real exchange rate is the ratio of foreign to domestic prices, measured in the same currency. It can be estimated as follows: Where R = Real exchange rate, P= Domestic price level, Pf = Price level in abroad, e = Rupee price of foreign exchange. Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) – REER is the weighted average of RERs for all its trade partners, the weights being the shares of respective countries in its foreign trade. ePf R = P

Types of Exchange Rates Fixed Exchange Rate – When the central bank of a country fixes the value of exchange rate, it is called fixes exchange rate system. Merits of Fixes Exchange Rate system – (i) Stability in exchange rate encourages international trade. (ii) International investment is promoted through the system of stable exchange rate. (iii) It removes the possibilities of speculation. (iv) A fixed rate of exchange is more suited to a world of currency areas, such as sterling area. Demerits of Fixes Exchange Rate system – (i) Central bank has to intervene to finance balance of payment deficit and to maintain the fixed exchange rate. (ii) When speculators come to know that the fixed exchange rate cannot be held for long their demand for foreign exchange would rise. This cause a further deficit in balance of payment.

2.Flexible Exchange Rate system – The system of exchange rate in which the value of a currency is allowed to adjust freely or to float as determined by demand for and supply of foreign exchange is called a flexible or floating exchange rate system. Merits of flexible exchange rate – (i) There is no need for central bank to have foreign reserves under the system of flexible exchange rate. Thus the cost of keeping and acquiring reserves can be avoided. (ii) Flexible exchange rates remove hurdles in the way of international trade capital movement. (iii) Flexible exchange rate provides opportunity for the optimum utilisation of resources. (iv) It facilitate adjustment in the basic balance of payment and provide more incentive for equilibrating speculation.

Demerits of flexible exchange rate system – (i) Too frequent fluctuations in exchange rate create uncertainty about the amount of receipts and payments in foreign exchange transactions. (ii) under this system the price of foreign exchange is quite uncertain. As a result, people are unable to take proper decisions regarding exports and imports of goods. (iii) Under this system there is widespread speculation regarding exchange rates of currencies which has a large destabilising effect on these rates. (iv) Under this system in the situation of deficit BOP, the currency depreciates and therefore price of imports go up. Managed Floating System – Under this system floating of exchange rate is not completely free, it is managed by the monetary authority of the country in the best interests of the economy.

Demand for foreign exchange – Imports of goods and services from foreign countries. Purchase of assets in foreign countries. Sending gifts abroad. Speculation on the value of foreign currencies. Other payments involved in international trasactions like expenditure on embassies and other organisations. Supply of foreign exchange – Export of goods and services to foreign countries. Investment by foreign countries in the domestic country or purchase of assets by foreigners. Receiving gifts from rest of the world. Inward movement of foreign currencies due to currency dealers and speculators.

Determination of Foreign Exchange Rate (Rs per $) Demand & Supply Of foreign Exchange($) O D S E S2 D2 S1 D1 R R1 R2 M

Equilibrium exchange rate is determined where the demand for foreign exchange becomes equal to its supply or where the foreign exchange demand curve and foreign exchange supply curve intersect each other. In the diagram DD demand curve intersects SS supply curve at point E, hence the equilibrium exchange rate is determined as OR. Thus, the rate at which demand for foreign exchange becomes equal to supply of foreign exchange is termed as equilibrium rate of exchange.

Some Important Terms Appreciation – If the value of a currency in terms of foreign currency is increased in a flexible exchange rate system, it is called appreciation of the currency. Depreciation – If the value of a currency in terms of foreign currency falls in a flexible exchange rate system, it is termed as depreciation of the currency. Revaluation – If a country in fixed exchange rate system raises the value of its currency in terms of foreign currency by official action, it is called revaluation. Devaluation – If a country in fixed exchange rate system lowers the value of its currency in terms of foreign currency by official action, it is called devaluation
