18. Foreign Trade
Balance of Payments
Initially current account deficit caused by a balance of trade deficit compensated by inflow of foreign capital
Pro-export effect of investment helped the balance of trade to become positive (since 2004)
But the current account as a whole remained in red numbers due to outflow of dividends
High share of FDI is being financed from reinvested earnings from previous investments
