Examiners report
Most candidates had a good understanding of methods to correct a persistent current account deficit. One fairly common mistake, however, was to suggest that inflows on the financial/capital account should be encouraged. Furthermore, some candidates responded with a very narrow focus, providing two different types of trade protection rather than two methods as indicated in the subject guide.
