About the indicator

The current account balance of the balance of payments as a percent of GDP: trade in goods and services, primary income (interest, dividends, compensation of employees) and secondary income (transfers). A surplus means a country earns more abroad than it spends and is building up external assets; a persistent deficit has to be financed by an inflow of capital.
