- Discuss the role of budget surpluses and trade surpluses in national saving and investmentarrow_forwardBecause of the relationship between net capital outflow and net exports, the level of net capital outflow at the equilibrium real interest rate implies that the economy is experiencing (Balanced trade/ a trade deficit/ a trade surplus) Now, suppose the government is experiencing a budget deficit. This means that ( National saving will increase/ national saving will decrease/ Domestic investment will increase / domestic investment will decrease) which leads to ( an increase in the supply of / a decrease in the supply of / an increase in the demand for/ a decrease in the demand for) loanable funds. After the budget deficit occurs, suppose the new equilibrium real interest rate is 6%. The following graph shows the demand curve in the foreign-currency exchange market. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to show the supply curve in this market before the budget deficit. Then use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the supply curve after the budget deficit.

- Low interest rates means low inflation which means depreciated currency. This stimulates businessmen to invest abroad as interest rates are low. How can they invest abroad if the currency is depreciated? Wouldn't that be illogical and unfeasible? (According to Mankiw's textbook)Lower Interest rates encourage additional investment spending, which gives the economy a boost in times of slow economic growth. (Investopedia) Is this talking about investment spending abroad or investment spending in general? If Investment abroad increases how can that boost the economy? Aren't those statements contradictory?Recently, Turkey has experienced high inflation and high interest rates. IN spite of that its currency depreciated at historical levels. Is this because of other reasons than high inflation and high interest rates? Do we normally assume "ceteris paribus" when talking about this correlation? Even though its currency depreciated, there were investments made in Turkey. Why?arrow_forwardAre current account deficits necessarily undesirable?
