Balance of Payments

The balance of payments is a record of all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world over a specified period. It includes trade, investment, and financial flows. A positive balance indicates more inflows than outflows, while a negative balance suggests the opposite, reflecting a country’s economic health.
