Understanding Current Account — a simple guide
What it measures
The current account balance in current US dollars.
How it is calculated
Trade balance + net income from abroad + net transfers, in US dollars.
A deficit of $40 billion means the country spent that much more abroad than it earned.
A surplus adds to national savings held abroad.
A deficit must be financed by foreign capital.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
It shows the absolute size of a country’s external surplus or deficit.
How to read it
Scale by GDP (current account to GDP) to compare countries.
How to use the chart
