| Popis: | The maintenance of a balanced current account is among the enormous challenges faced by most of the developing economies. This study seeks to examine the determinative factors of the current account deficit in Pakistan over the period of 1976-2020.Assessment of these factors has been made within the stipulated structure of the ARDL model.Findings reveal that fiscal sustainability, sustainable economic growth, controlled inflation,and growth in gross saving are the reasons that help in stimulating the current account balances in the long run. This study also finds that exchange rate, money supply, and TOT were unable to change the position of the current account. Based on the empirical findings, it is recommended that government should concentrate on recognitions of channels that help in boosting the government revenue, accelerating the growth process, stimulating the gross saving, and maintaining a moderate level of inflation. |
