Record 3 1986-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Government Accounting
  • Foreign Trade
CONT

... contrary to expectations, the current account balance does not receive much support as a useful indicator of crises. This may be because exchange rate changes may already reflect the behavior of the current account balance; in most of the studies where the effect of the current account balance was found to be insignificant, the real exchange rate did have a significant effect.

  • Commerce extérieur

Spanish

  • Contabilidad pública
  • Comercio exterior
DEF

Resultado, positivo o negativo, que se presenta en la Balanza de exportaciones e importaciones globales de bienes y servicios de la Balanza de pagos, ya que esta última, por definición, siempre se encuentra en equilibrio.

CONT

Contrariamente a lo que cabría suponer, el saldo en cuenta corriente no se considera un indicador válido de una posible crisis. Ello puede deberse a que la evolución de dicho saldo puede estar ya reflejada en las variaciones del tipo de cambio; en la mayoría de los estudios en los que se determinó que el efecto de ese indicador era insignificante, el tipo de cambio real sí tenía un efecto significativo.
