 Current account - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Often, the capital account and the financial account are both referred to as the capital account.
The current account is often presented alongside the capital account and financial account of the BOP which contains data about short and long-term capital flows.
Generally it is a significant current account deficit (rather than a surplus) that is perceived to be a problem requiring action, but the current (trading) and capital (largely financial) accounts are inter-related and a persistent capital surplus can (by raising the exchange rate above the level it would otherwise reach) cause a current account deficit.

 Finance & Development, December 1998 - Sequencing Capital Account Liberalization
Capital account liberalization is not an all-or-nothing affair; there are as many ways to approach it as there are financial instruments and types of capital transactions (see box).
A middle view is that capital account liberalization should be part of a concurrent, integrated, and comprehensive approach to macroeconomic and structural reform; in this view, the coordination of reforms in the domestic and external sectors is the key issue.
Capital account liberalization is not without risk, however.

 FREE In-depth report - Capital Account - Mexico
The government was counting on the capital inflow to ensure a continued large capital account surplus with which to balance the current-account deficit.
By 1985 these measures had brought the current account back into surplus and eliminated the government's fiscal deficit, but at the cost of foregone economic growth and a sharp deterioration in the capital account.
The external account balance was again reversed in 1987, as higher oil prices, increased nonoil revenue, a new commercial bank loan, and continued capital repatriation generated a US$4 billion current-account surplus, while heavy debt service obligations forced the capital account into a US$2.5 billion deficit.

 Go With The Flows?:
Capital Account Liberalisation
The most direct route through which capital account liberalisation reduces the overall level of government budgets available for fiscal expenditure is by diverting expenditures to other avenues; in particular, managing the associated capital inflows.
The apparent absence of research on the preconditions for capital account liberalisation to improve (or at least leave unchanged) the access of domestic firms to credit is indeed paralleled by the absence of research to indicate the preconditions for capital account liberalisation to be at least poverty-neutral.
Capital account liberalisation is the process of removing restrictions from international transactions related to the movement of capital.

Under these circumstances, instead of tying down liberalisation in the capital account to the macro-parameters, the committee could have restricted itself to mapping out a sequence of step-by-step liberalisation at the micro level, which could have probably made the whole process happen sooner.

The Asian financial crisis led to a re-thinking of the issues related to capital account liberalisation.
While there is room for debate about particular policies, the broad lesson is that capital account liberalisation is most likely to succeed if it takes place in a sound macroeconomic environment and if it forms part of a coherent programme of economic reform.

 What is Capital Account Convertibility - basics
Whatever the apparent theoretical benefits of capital account convertibility, they have not yet been vindicated by the actual empirical evidence; rather, the experience of the countries in the developing world that have experimented with capital account convertibility has been that of increased market volatility and financial crises.
Hence, there is an immediate need for putting brakes on government expenditure, and until that has been satisfactorily done, opening up the capital account fully would carry with it a big risk of sudden loss of faith of investors and capital flight.
Hence, one cannot bank on the continuous supply of foreign capital to finance whatever outflows occur from the country.

 Capital Account Covertibility
Current account convertibility allows free inflows and outflows for all purposes other than for capital purposes such as investments and loans.
In a bid to attract foreign investment, many developing countries went in for CAC in the 80s not realising that free mobility of capital leaves countries open to both sudden and huge inflows as well as outflows, both of which can be potentially destabilising.
It is also seen as a major comfort factor for overseas investors since they know that anytime they change their mind they will be able to re-convert local currency back into foreign currency and take out their money.
