current account
(redirected from checking account)

current account

In economics, that part of the balance of payments concerned with current transactions, as opposed to capital movements. It includes trade (visibles) and service transactions, such as investment, insurance, shipping, and tourism (invisibles). The state of the current account is regarded as a barometer of overall economic health.

In some countries, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, visibles make a large contribution to the current account and may more than offset trade deficits.
