When government policy moves from a budget surplus to a budget deficit and the trade deficit remains constant: savings will decr
Dovator [93]

Investment will decline if savings also decline when a government's fiscal policy switches from a budget surplus to a budget deficit and the trade deficit stays steady.

<h3>What occurs if there is a budget surplus or deficit for the government?</h3>
  • A budget deficit occurs when the federal government spends more money than it takes in from taxes in a given year.
  • In contrast, the government has a budget surplus when it collects more taxes than it spends in a single year.
<h3>What distinguishes a budget surplus from a budget deficit?</h3>

A government experiences a budget surplus when its tax revenues exceed its expenditures, a budget deficit when its expenditures exceed its tax revenues, and a balanced budget when the two figures are equal.

<h3>How do trade deficits result from budget deficits?</h3>

A budget deficit causes interest rates to rise, which raises net capital inflows and currency depreciation, which lowers net exports.
