... 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. 2, record 3, English, - current%20account%20balance

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. 4, record 3, Spanish, - balanza%20en%20cuenta%20corriente
