Balance of Payment (BoP)

Definition
The Balance Of Payments of a country is a systematic record of all economic transactions between the residents of a country and the rest of the world. It presents a classified record of all receipts on account of goods exported, services rendered and capital received by residents and payments made by them on account of goods imported and services received from the capital transferred to non-residents or foreigners. Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

Importance of BoP

The BoP is an important indicator of pressure on a countrys foreign exchange rate . The BOP helps to forecast a countrys market potential, especially in the short run. Changes in a countrys BOP may signal the imposition or removal of controls over payment of dividends and interest, license fees, royalty fees, or other cash disbursements to foreign firms or investors.
