Definition and Statistical Concept
This graph presents the annual net foreign exchange movement (inflows minus outflows) through the indicator Balance of Payments (BOP), measured in millions of US dollars (USD).
The Balance of Payments (BOP) summarizes all economic transactions between residents and non-residents over a specific period, including trade in goods and services, primary and secondary income, and financial flows. This indicator shows the net impact of international transactions on the country’s foreign exchange reserves. Tracking Forex Inflows and Outflows is essential to evaluate the country’s external financial health, sustainability of its foreign currency reserves, exchange rate stability, and overall economic stability. It aids policymakers in decision-making regarding exchange rate management, external borrowing, and investment policies.
