Balance of payments is a statistical statement that systematically summarises, for a specific time period, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world (transactions between residents and non‑residents). A transaction itself is defined as an economic flow that reflects the creation, transformation, exchange, transfer or extinction of economic value.

Credit and debit records in the current and capital accounts are shown with positive signs, except for those cases when the transaction has a negative value, for example, reinvested loss. In the financial account, positive figures signify a growth in assets or liabilities, negative figures – a decline in them. Balancing indicators such as current account balance or net lending (net borrowing) will always be treated as a difference between credit and debit or assets (net acquisition of financial assets) and liabilities (net incurrence of liabilities).
