Current Account (BoP)
The current account balance is the sum of a country's balance of trade in goods and services, net income from abroad, and net current transfers. A positive current account balance indicates the nation is a net lender to the rest of the world, while a negative current account balance indicates that it is a net borrower from the rest of the world.
