 Project 3

Due  April 13, either in class or in my mailbox, no later than 5 p.m.


Find balance-of-payments information for your country, and explain it.  The following are suggestions for some issues which should be included.

Is your country running a trade surplus or a trade deficit?
Is your country running a current account surplus or deficit?
Is your country running a capital account surplus or deficit?
What is the trend, that is, are trade deficits increasing or decreasing, etc.?
Why are conditions as you describe?  That is, what underlying economic conditions in the country are causing these conditions and trends?
Has the government intervened to change exchange rate conditions?  How and why?

You should include data for (at least) the most recent three years available, and cite all sources of information.
