Q2. Since the 1930s, nations have actively pursued internal balance as a primary economic objective.Nations also consider external balance as an economic objective. A nation realizes overall balancewhen it attains internal balance and external balance.To achieve overall balance, nations implement expenditure-changing policies (monetary and fiscalpolicies), expenditure-switching policies (exchange-rate adjustments), and direct controls (price andwage controls).
Page 3 of 3Although exchange-rate adjustments primarily influence a nation’s balance-of-payments position
(current account), they have secondary impacts on the domestic economy. A nation with a balance-of-payments deficit and high unemployment could devalue its currency to resolve these problems. A
nation with a balance-of-payments surplus and inflation could devalue its currency. Such policiesare dependent upon the willingness of other nations to refrain from implementing offsettingexchange-rate adjustments.For an open economy…

The following question focuses on the exchange rate between Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars, defined as the number
of Mexican pesos you must pay for one dollar.
Suppose that incomes decrease in Mexico, causing Mexican consumers to purchase fewer U.S.-made goods and
services. How does this affect the peso-dollar exchange rate? Drag the appropriate curve(s) on the following graph to
illustrate how this change affects the market for dollars.
Tool tip: Click and drag one or both of the curves. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move the curve and
it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.

Pakistan will have to fix its exports and reduce dependency on imports to avoid the next balance of payments crisis. “In the current structural and product specialization circumstances, if Pakistan’s economy is to grow faster than 3.8% in the medium-term, external imbalances will occur,” the report warned. The ADB paper noted that since end-2017, the government has implemented a number of economic reforms to address the BOP crisis, including regulatory measures, reduced imports, increased interest rates, and allowed depreciation of the exchange rate to the US dollar by almost 33%. Despite significant currency depreciation, merchandise exports did not pick up significantly and Pakistan’s total debt and liabilities have risen sharply.
