Loan Market
Savers and BorrowersS = I + NCO
Savings =
Domestic Investment + Net Capital Outflow
Supply = Demand
Two Things
Invest at homeInvest abroad
NCO > 0
Less Invest at homeMore Invest abroad
Investing more in other countries than your own
NCO < 0
More Invest at homeLess Invest abroad
Other countries want to invest in your country
Supply and Demand of Loanable Funds
Depends on the real interest rate
Remember
Nominal Rate = Real Rate + Inflation Rate
Nominal = Real + Inflation N = R + I

Foreign Currency Exchange Market
NCO = NXNet Capital Outflow = Net Exports
Foreign Currency Exchange Market
If NX > 0Selling more than buyingWhat to do with cash? Must buy foreign assets
Remember foreign currency is a foreign asset
Foreign Currency Exchange Market
If NX < 0Buying more than sellingMust sell domestic assets
to pay for purchases
Foreign Currency Exchange Market
At the Equilibrium Exchange Rate:Demand for currency from
foreigners from net exports =Supply of currency from citizens
from net capital outflow
