So we know that like accounting, balance of payment account transaction are always recorded double-entryly. as: Current account=Capital account+ financial account. However, what I don’t understand is why an export(money-in) is a credit to the current account? Shouldn’t cash increase an debit according to accounting rules?
Can someone help explain with the following example?
Scenario1: United States purchased a machinery from China, using USD
Scenario 2: Unites States purchased a machinery from China, using RMB
How do we record these?
Thank you.
