ACCOUNTING BOUNDARY

A comparable proxy, not a closed ledger

CreationYear-over-year change in broad money. It includes valuation and exchange-rate effects and can be negative.

RetentionBroad money is a domestic financial stock, not all national wealth and not proof that money physically remains inside a border.

In and outExports and imports proxy current trade receipts and payments. Capital, income, transfers and reserve flows require the full balance of payments.
