Current Account Balance (USD)

Measures trade in goods and services, primary income (e.g., interest and dividends), and secondary income (e.g., remittances). It is a broader measure of international financial flows than the Trade Balance. A surplus implies the country is a net creditor to the world, leading to consistent demand for the currency and is generally bullish for long-term currency strength.
