Q1. Can you think of reasons why a government might be concerned about a large current account
deficit or surplus? Why might a government be concerned about its official settlement balance (that is,
its balance of payments)?

An account is in deficit when the bigger yield is bigger than expenditure than its deficit. Huge account
deficits can't be supported for a significant stretch of time. A diminishing in consumption happens when
the pay is more noteworthy than expenditure. The current account records the imports and fares of
merchandise and ventures with the remainder of the world. At the point when imports are more
prominent than sends out the nation experiences a current deficit. It implies the installment it needs to
make to outsiders is more than the receipts. An expansion in CA deficit brings about fall in unfamiliar
stores. Government is worried about its BOP account since it addresses the country's financial position
in the remainder of the world. Assuming the country financial position is more grounded, it prompts
expansion in capital inflow in the country and expands the estimation of domestic currency.
