A __________ account deficit is financed by net capital flows from the rest of the world, thus by a capital account surplus.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
A current account deficit means a country's imports of goods, services, and transfers exceed its exports. This deficit is financed by net capital inflows from abroad (capital account surplus), such as foreign investment, borrowing, or sale of assets. The current and capital accounts together must balance.
