The Balance of Payments (BoP) encapsulates all economic transactions with the rest of the world—current account (goods, services, remittances) and capital/financial account (FDI, FPI, loans). A surplus or deficit in BoP impacts currency stability. India follows a managed float exchange rate, where market forces primarily set the rupee’s value, but RBI intervenes to curb excess volatility. For exam mastery, note the difference between convertible vs. non-convertible currencies, drivers of currency appreciation/depreciation, and how forex reserves provide a cushion against external shocks. Summaries often highlight the interplay between trade deficits, capital inflows, and exchange rate adjustments.
