The BOP is a crucial indicator for assessing a country’s economic health and its relationship with other economies. It provides insights into the country’s trade balance, foreign investments, and capital flows. A positive BOP means that a country is receiving more from the world than it is spending, while a negative BOP suggests that the country is spending more on foreign transactions than it is earning. The BOP is divided into several components, including the current account, capital account, and financial account.
