About this indicator

Source	Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
Frequency	Quarterly
What it is	Measures the net balance of Australia's transactions with the rest of the world in goods, services, income and current transfers. It is published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
How it's calculated	Drawn from the ABS quarterly Balance of Payments and International Investment Position release, seasonally adjusted and expressed in millions of Australian dollars.
Market implications	A negative balance signals that Australia spends more abroad than it earns in net terms, which can weigh on the Australian dollar; a narrower-than-expected deficit or a surplus supports the AUD and gauges demand for its commodities.
Limitations	It is subject to quarterly revisions and is volatile owing to its reliance on commodity prices; it does not capture financial and capital account flows, which are recorded separately.
