Answer to Question 1

If a nation is currently borrowing from the world more than it is lending to the world, the nation is a net borrower. If a nation is currently lending more to the world more than it is borrowing from the world, the nation is a net lender. If during its entire history a nation has borrowed more than it has lent, the nation is a debtor nation. If during its entire history a nation has lent more than it has borrowed, the nation is a creditor nation. The distinction between borrowing or lending and being a debtor or creditor deals is the distinction between a flow and a stock. A nation that is a net borrower is increasing its debt (or decreasing its assets). The net borrowing is the flow that adds to the stock of debt (or decreases the stock of assets). A nation that is a net lender is increasing its assets (or decreasing its debt). The net lending is the flow that adds to the stock of assets (or decreases the stock of debt).
