Answer to Question 1

A current account deficit may pose no problem if the borrowed funds are channeled into productive domestic investment projects that pay for themselves with the revenue they generate in the future. However, sometimes, large current account deficits represent temporarily high consumption resulting from misguided government policies or some other malfunctioning of the economy. Sometimes, the investment projects that draw on foreign funds may be badly planned, etc. In such cases, the government might wish to reduce the current account deficit immediately rather than face problems in repaying its foreign debt in the future.

Answer to Question 2

C
