please help me answer these international finance question

weight to the argument, the net surplus on the financial account seemed to indicate a growing confidence in the Turkish economy's outlook by foreign investors. An examination of the subcomponents of these major account balances is helpful. As illustrated in Exhibit 2, the rapid deterioration of the current account in 2000 was largely the result of a rapid jump in imported goods and merchandise. The goods import bill rose from $39.8 billion in 1999 to over $54.0 billion in 2000, an increase of 36% in one year. At the same time, services trade and current income accounts, both credits and debits subcomponents, showed little change. Unfortunately, the statistics reported to the IMF provide little in additional detail as to the composition of these rapid imports, their industry or nature, and their financing. Exhibit 2 - Subaccounts of the Turkish Current Account, 1998-2000 (millions of U.S dollars) 1998 1999 2000 Goods: exports 31,220 29.325 31,664 Goods: imports -45,440 39,768 54,041 Balance on goods 14.220 10.443 22,377 Services: credit 23,321 16.398 19,484 Services: debit 9,859 -8,953 .8,149 Balance on services 13,462 7.445 11,335 Income: credit 2.481 2,350 2,836 Income: debit -5,466 -5,887 -6,838 Balance on income -2.985 -3,537 -4,002 Current transfer: credit 5,860 5,294 5,137 Current transfer: debit -133 -1 19 -92 Balance on transfer 5,727 5,175 5,225 Balance on current account 1,984 -1,360 -9.819 A similar decomposition of the surplus on the financial account also allow us to identify where the various inflows and outflows of capital in Turkey there was a significant change. Exhibit 3 provides this financial account decompisition. According to Exhibit 3, the doubling of the Turkish financial account surplus in 2000 was largely the result of a massive increase - over $7 billion - in "net other investment'. Exhibit 3- Subaccounts of the Turkish Financial Account, 1998-2000 (millions of U.S. dollars 1998 1999 2000 Net direct investment 573 138 112 Net portfolio investment -6.711 3,429 1.022 Net other investment 6,586 1,103 8,311 Balance of inancial account 448 4,670 9.445 One very important determinant of these account balances was the telecommunications sector. Throughout 2000. TelSim, the national telecommunications provider in Turkey,imported billions of dollars worth of equipment from Nokia (Finland) and Motorola (United States). The equipment was purchased on trade credit, meaning that TelSim would repay Noltia and Motorola at a 1Future date for the equipment1 primarily from the proceeds of activating the equipment for telecommunications services.

The Turkish government has successfully waged war on the inflationary forces embedded in the country's economy in 1999 and early 2000. But just as the economy began to boom in the second half of 2000, pressures on the country's balance of payment and curency rose. The question asked by many analyst in the month following the crisis was whether the crisis had been predictable, and what early signs of deterioration should have been noted by the outside world. The Accounts Exhibit I present the Turkish balance on current account and financial account between 1993 and 2000 (ending less than 2 months prior to devaluation). Several issues are immediately evident: . First, Turkey seemingly suffered significant volatility in the balance on key international accounts. The financial account swung between (1993) and deficit (1994), and back to surplus again (1995-1997). After plummeting in 1998, the financial surplus returned in 1999 and 2000. Second, as is typically the case, the current account behaved in a relatively inverse manner to the financial account., running deficits in most of the years shown. But significantly, the deficit on current account grew dramatically in 2000, to over $9.8 billion, from a deficit in 1999 of only $1.4 billion. Exhibit 1 - Turkey's Balance of Payment 1993-2000 Millions of U.S $ 15000 10000 Financial/Capital Account 5000 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Current Account -10000 -15000 Many analysts are quick to point out that the sizeable increase in the current account deficit should have been seen as a danger signal of imminent collapse. Others, however, point out quite correctly that most national economist experience rapid increases in trade and current account deficits during rapid periods of economic growth. And to add
