Cevap

The correct statements are that remittances from non-resident workers are categorized as secondary income under the Current Account, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) equity flows are classified under the Capital Account as non-debt creating flows.
The statements concerning worker remittances and FDI equity flows are correct. Remittances do not create future financial claims or debt liabilities, making them current transfer receipts (secondary income) under the Current Account. Foreign direct investments acquire ownership equity in domestic enterprises, directly altering the economy's foreign financial asset-liability position under the Capital Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the classification of worker remittances in Balance of Payments accounting.
Remittances represent unrequited unilateral transfers without financial obligation.
Unrequited transfers belong to secondary income under the Current Account.
2
Evaluate the accounting treatment of interest payments on External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs).
Interest payments service existing debt as an investment income outflow.
Debt servicing cost (interest) is an income flow recorded under primary income in the Current Account, whereas principal loan disbursal and amortization are recorded in the Capital Account.
3
Determine the classification of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) equity inflows.
FDI brings in cross-border foreign equity capital.
Cross-border ownership of enterprise equity creates foreign financial assets/liabilities under the Capital Account.
4
Examine the classification of Non-Resident External (NRE) deposit balance shifts.
NRE deposits constitute banking capital liabilities.
Commercial bank deposit liabilities owed to non-residents form part of foreign banking capital under the Capital Account.
