The main imports into Australia are primarily finished goods such as electrical and electronic goods, machines and vehicles. Fuel and oil are also imported. Australia is agriculturally rich, and imports in this sector are not major but increasing with new trade agreements.

How would decreased tariffs affect the capital account?

A decrease in tariffs lowers the price of imports, so more people will buy imports than goods produced inside the country. This won't change the capital account balance, which is determined by adding domestic assets owned by foreign people, businesses, or governments (like investments, land, stocks, bonds), and subtracting foreign assets owned by domestic people, businesses, or governments. A decrease in tariffs won't directly affect the value of assets held abroad or of foreign assets inside the country.


Why do nations buy foreign currency?

Nations buy foreign currency primarily to stabilize their own currency's value, manage exchange rates, and influence trade balances. By accumulating foreign reserves, they can intervene in the foreign exchange market to prevent excessive volatility or depreciation of their currency. Additionally, holding foreign currency enables countries to facilitate international trade and investments, ensuring they can pay for imports and meet foreign obligations.

What will happen if exchange rate goes up?

If the exchange rate goes up, it means that the domestic currency has appreciated relative to foreign currencies. This can make imports cheaper, benefiting consumers who buy foreign goods, but it can also hurt domestic exporters, as their products become more expensive for foreign buyers. Consequently, a rising exchange rate may lead to a trade imbalance if exports decline significantly while imports increase. Additionally, it can affect inflation rates, as cheaper imports may lower overall price levels.

What would an appreciating US dollar compared to the Euro do to US imports exports and GDP?

an appreciating US dollar relative to foreign currencies provides that more units of foreign currency will be needed to buy one USD. As a result US exports become more expensive to countries using alternative currencies, which reduces demand for US exports. On the other hand the USD will now buy more units of foreign currency, making goods denominated on those currencies less expensive on a relative basis. The enhanced ability of the USD to purchase goods denominated in foreign currencies increases the demand of foreign goods and increases imports to the US. Ultimately GDP will decline in an atmosphere of an appreciating USD.
