Chart 1.1 showcasing the trend of the budget balance. From the above visual representation it can be observed that over the four years, Indonesia has had a surplus in its current account balances, this means that Indonesia is saving most of its resources than investing those resources. For the case of Australia and USA, both countries experienced a deficit in their current account, but Australia has gradually improved it current balance. This implies that, these countries are investing more than they are saving and thus, they are utilizing resources sourced from other economies in order to finance domestic consumption. Question 1b. Twin deficit refers to a situation a deficit in national budget leads to expanded deficit in the current account. Twin deficit proposition, argues that large budget deficit have negative impact on the national saving of the country, this in turn leads to souring the current account deficit. Although, some economist that this proposition is so weak in explaining this phenomenon (Hansen, 2003). A twin deficit exists in the case of the United States of America where the budget deficit has lead to expanding the current account deficit. This implies that United States acts as net debtor to other global economies. Therefore, the United States is investing extra resources to other world economies than saving and in return use resources from world economies to fund the domestic consumption. Question2.
