The Current Account is a comprehensive measure of a country's economic transactions with the rest of the world. It includes the balance of trade (goods and services), net primary income (such as interest and dividends), and net secondary income (current transfers). A surplus indicates the nation is a net lender to the rest of the world, while a deficit indicates it is a net borrower.
It is calculated as the sum of the trade balance (exports minus imports of goods and services), net income from abroad, and net current transfers. Data is collected from various sources including customs, central bank surveys, and financial institutions.
