External Sector
All transactions between any country and the rest of the world come under the External sector. External sector transactions, both receipts and payments, can be identified according to their nature as current and capital transactions, which again, have further subdivisions. Furthermore, the accumulation of receipts and ability to make payments affect and are affected by, respectively, the external reserves of an economy. Transactions among nations require conversion among currencies, which are directly associated with exchange rates. While developments in external transactions affect exchange rates, movements in exchange rates again impact on External sector transactions. Accordingly, the data on external transactions, external reserves and exchange rates are provided under this sector.
