Kuwait Current Account

The current account of Kuwait and other countries has three components: 1) the exports of goods and services minus the imports of goods and services; 2) the difference of incomes that countries pay to each other; and 3) the difference in transfers that countries make to each other. Current account deficits are reported with a minus sign and surpluses are reported with a plus sign.

Although the current account has several components, its biggest component is the trade balance: the difference between exports and imports of goods and services. More detail is provided in the Balance of Payments section of our global economy guide. The current account is part of the Balance of Payments.

A current account deficit means that the country needs to find financing for its imports. The foreign currencies it receives from selling products abroad are not enough to pay for the products it wants to buy from other countries. The needed amounts of foreign currencies can be obtained by, for example, borrowing.

...PRESIDENT BENIGNO AQUINO III’S 2015 STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS BATASANG PAMBANSA COMPLEX, QUEZON CITY JULY 27, 2015 (Original Filipino text)             Bago po ako magsimula, hihingi ako ng paumanhin dahil hindi natin nagawa ang traditional processional walk; hindi na rin natin nakamayan ang lahat ng nag-abang. Medyo masama po kasi ang ating pakiramdam sa kasalukuyan.

Ito ang aking ikaanim na SONA. Muli akong humaharap sa Kongreso at sa sambayanan upang iulat ang lagay ng ating bansa. Mahigit limang taon na ang lumilipas mula nang itinigil natin ang wang-wang, hindi lang sa kalsada, kundi sa buong lipunan; mula nang pormal tayong nanumpang labanan ang katiwalian upang masugpo ang kahirapan; at mula nang natuto muling mangarap ang Pilipino – ang atin pong mga Boss.
