Current Account Deficit has got a lot smaller! (BOP section of the course)
*News came from IMF's latest country report on Aus http://www.imf.org/en/Publications/...ia-Selected-Issues-45632?cid=em-COM-123-36654
* current account deficit has been a lot smaller. It's expected to have been only 2 per cent in 2017
*Report suggests for CA slow down in domestic demand (consumption + investment down) then major trading partners
-> M from then weakened more then Ex to them
*CAD further reduced by lower net Y deficit 3 per cent of GDP (before GFC) to 1.5% due to lower i.r (int payment to foeign > interest payment to us)
*Capital Account Surplus
-> Households saved > proportion of Y since crisis
-> Companies have saved > through retaining profits then paying dividends, less investment
-> tight up int capital adequacy req in rec to crisis = force bank to inc savings through retaining more profirs
