3. Question
A closed economy is likely to have which of the following characteristics?
CorrectSolution: d)
A closed economy is self-sufficient, meaning that no imports are brought in and no exports are sent out. The goal is to provide consumers with everything that they need from within the economy’s borders. A closed economy is the opposite of an open economy, in which a country will conduct trade with outside regions.
So, if no capital or goods/services are imported, exported, the BoP will be zero.
In this case, the fiscal deficit need not be zero since a developing country may adopt expansionary fiscal policy to tackle poverty and unemployment.
