Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.44 Balance of Payments, Capital Flows, and Global Finance skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A foreign central bank sells domestic government bonds and converts the proceeds into its own currency. What capital-flow effect is most likely for the domestic country?

ACurrent-account services export with no currency effect

BCapital-account credit from debt forgiveness

CFinancial-account outflow with depreciation pressure on the domestic currency

DFinancial-account inflow with appreciation pressure

Solution & Explanation:When a foreign holder sells domestic bonds and exits the currency, foreign claims on domestic assets fall. The outflow tends to put depreciation pressure on the domestic currency.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which transaction improves a country's ability to finance a current-account deficit now but can worsen its future current account through income payments?

AA foreign tourist buys a domestic hotel room

BA domestic firm sells permanent patent ownership abroad

CA domestic worker receives a gift from relatives abroad

DA foreign bank lends money to the domestic government

Solution & Explanation:A foreign loan supplies financial inflow now, helping finance a deficit. Future interest payments to the foreign bank are primary income debits in the current account.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the planned fixed-exchange-rate chart. Capital outflows rise while the central bank's foreign reserves fall each month. What intervention is most consistent with the chart?

AThe central bank buys foreign reserves to intensify depreciation

BDebt forgiveness is recorded as portfolio investment

CThe central bank sells foreign reserves to meet demand for foreign currency

DForeign tourists create a services-export boom

Solution & Explanation:Under a fixed exchange rate, capital outflows can increase demand for foreign currency. Selling foreign reserves supplies that currency and causes reserves to fall.
