UPSC IAS – 2013
The balance of payments (BoP) of a country is a systematic record of all economic transactions between the residents of a country and the rest of the world during a specific period, typically a year.
BoP includes transactions related to trade in goods and services (Current Account), income flows, and capital flows (Capital and Financial Account). Option A, while slightly simplified by focusing only on “import and export transactions,” is the most comprehensive description among the choices, as these trade transactions are a major part of the Current Account. The other options are too narrow (only goods, only government, or only capital).
