While much of the world is struggling with negative interest rates, the U.S. is talking about raising ours in order to forestall an inflation that never seems to materialize. My question is: Even though the dollar is the world currency, won’t the Fed’s policies eventually get dragged down by the world-wide moribund economic environment, rather than any momentary robustness exhibited by the U.S. economy?

Hi. I just wanted someone to explain HOW a government or a nation finances a current account deficit. If it is sending out more money than is coming in, where does the money going out come from? I understand that countries use foreign exchange reserves, but even these must diminish on countries like India, which has run a current-account deficit in every quarter since 2007, right?
P.S. I see you studied PPE at Oxford. I start in a month. 🙂
Basically a current account deficit is financed by a variety of capital / financial flows. e.g. Japanense investors buying UK bonds, or Chinese firms investing in UK Nuclear power station. Foreign exchange reserves play very little role. Government doesn’t intervene.
