How is F, net foreign assets, defined?
If F denotes the net foreign assets, what does the capital account measure? Give the mathematical formula
CP = -ΔF
If F denotes the net foreign assets and RES the central banks reserves of foreign currency, how can EX-IM also be equated?
How is the equation EX - IM = ΔF + ΔRES a proof of CA + CP + RES = 0?
CP = -ΔF
OR = -ΔRES
Hence,
CA + CP + RES = EX - IM - ΔF - ΔRES = ΔF - ΔF + ΔRES - ΔRES = 0
How are BCB , RES and M related mathematically?
