Answer to Question 1

Potential bond holders perceive that Brazil is a greater credit risk than Great Britain and therefore must be compensated for taking on that risk.

Answer to Question 2

The balance of trade measures the difference between the value of the goods a country exports and the value of the goods a country imports. If a country's exports of goods are greater than its imports of goods, there is a trade surplus, which increases the current account balance. However, the balance of trade is not the only component of the current account balance. The balance of services (exports of services minus imports of services), net income on investments, and net transfers are also included in the current account balance.
