I think B is also relevant, but not for the current account.

Definitely A! That's a classic current account item.

I feel like transactions in stocks and shares wouldn't be in the current account, but I can't recall if large sums of money are included.

I'm a bit confused about what counts as "external assets and liabilities." Is that part of the current account or the capital account?
CA

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think option A is definitely correct. The others seem more related to the capital account.

Wait, what's the difference between the current account and the capital account again? I need to make sure I don't mix those up in my answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The balance of payments can be tricky, with all the different accounts and transactions. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question on the components of a country's balance of payments. I'll focus on the key headings in the current account.
