27
Q

Micro Causes of a Current Account Deficit

A

28
Q

Macro Causes of a Current Account Deficit

A
  • High Growth at Home (Leads to Increase in Imports)
  • Low Growth Abroad (Less Demand for our Exports)
  • Strong Exchange Rate
  • High Relative Inflation (Makes Exports less competitive)
  • Poor Investment (Technology and Capital outdated domestically, so costs higher)
  • Loss of Comparative Advantage (De-Industrialisation, Structural Unemployment)
29
Q

Micro Barriers to Development

A
  • Low Productivity (Low Incomes, Poverty Cycle, High Costs)
  • Poor Education, Health, Infrastructure (Detracts FDI, Reduced Competitiveness)
  • Volatile Commodity Prices
  • Resource Depletion
  • Power of MNCs
30
Q

Macro Barriers to Development

A
  • Protectionism Abroad (If country is export based)
  • Volatile Exchange Rate (Keeps FDI and Aid away)
  • Corrupt Governments
  • Low Savings + Investment
  • Unbalanced Growth (Overspecialisation, could lead to shock recession)
31
Q

Micro Influences on International Competitiveness

A
  • Productivity (Drives Labour Costs, Price Competitiveness of Exports and Ability to attract FDI)
  • Regulation (Higher Costs and Prices, Deters FDI)
  • Labour Market Flexibility (Keeps Prices and Costs Low, Attracts FDI)
  • Competition
  • Subsidies
  • Investment, R+D (Competitiveness), Banking Sector (Domestic Investment and FDI)
32
Q

Macro Influences on International Competitiveness

A
  • Tax Rates (Low Corporation Tax and VAT keeps Price Low and attracts FDI)
  • Relative Inflation
  • Exchange Rate
  • Infrastructure (Firms rely on transport infrastructure, so Lower Prices, attracts FDI)
  • Government Finances (Promotes Domestic Investment and FDI)
  • Protectionism (From foreign countries or us e.g. Tariffs on raw materials Increasing Prices)
