Correct Answer Fiscal deficit and capital account deficit
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Fiscal deficit and Current Account Deficit are twin deficits.
A fiscal deficit occurs when a government's total expenditures exceed the revenue that it generates, excluding money from borrowings.
Current account deficit is a measurement of a country’s trade where the value of the goods and services it imports exceeds the value of the goods and services it exports. The current account also includes net income, such as interest and dividends, as well as transfers, such as foreign aid, though these components make up only a small percentage of the current account when compared to exports and imports.
