A positive current account balance indicates that a country is importing more than it is exporting.

A positive current account balance indicates that a country is exporting more than it is importing. This balance reflects the value of a nation's exports of goods and services minus its imports, alongside net income from abroad and net current transfers. When the current account is in surplus, it signifies that the total receipts from exports and other income exceed the total payments for imports and other expenditures. Thus, a surplus indicates a strong position in international trade, contrary to the claim that it signifies higher imports than exports.
