| | Balance of payments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The balance of payments account reflects all payments and liabilities to foreigners (debits) and all payments and obligations received from foreigners (credits). | | | For a country to have a zero balance of payments, a current account deficit must be balanced by a capital account surplus. | | | The balance of payments is a summary of all economic transactions between a country and all other countries for a specific time period, usually a year. |

| | Balance of Payments, by Herbert Stein: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | The balance of payments accounts of a country record the payments and receipts of the residents of the country in their transactions with residents of other countries. | | | The payments of Americans to Japan for automobiles are balanced by the payments of Japanese to U.S. individuals and institutions, including banks, for the acquisition of dollar assets. | | | Although the totals of payments and receipts are necessarily equal, there will be inequalities—excesses of payments or receipts, called deficits or surpluses—in particular kinds of transactions. |

| | Balance of Payments Surplus |
| | Since the trade balance for the last quarter is expected to be better and capital inflows are expected to be larger, there is every prospect that 2002 would end with a balance of payments surplus for the year. | | | This balance of payments surplus is however not being achieved owing to a trade surplus. | | | Although remittances and tourist earnings would contribute to offset the deficit in the trade balance, there would yet be a deficit in the balance of payments after these contributions are accounted for. |

| | Recording Transactions on the Balance of Payments |
| | These errors are reported in a line in the balance of payments labeled, "statistical discrepancy." The statistical discrepancy represents the amount that must be added or subtracted to force the measured current account balance and the measured financial account balance to zero. | | | This interpretation in the balance of payments accounts can be misleading, however, since in many international transactions, as when currencies are exchanged, money is involved on both sides of the transaction. | | | The second lesson from this example is that imbalances (deficits and surpluses) on the balance of payments accounts arise as a result of a series of mutually voluntary transactions in which equally valued items are traded for each other. |

| | In the meantime, so far from solving the balance of payments problems for every country at the same time, the bankers have failed even to agree on a plan to secure international liquidity which is primarily their concern; several different solutions are available, but the will has been lacking to agree on any durable policy. | | | The bankers' dream is of course theoretically possible with all countries accepting the dictatorship of international finance to keep their trade in near balance, and with temporary deficits serviced by the banks until the correction of compulsory deflation has worked. | | | The entry of Britain into the Common Market will not solve our balance of payments problem, and the same problem in other countries will not be settled until Europe is as complete a community as the component countries are today. |
