The balance of payment always balances. However, there could arise temporary disequilibrium of payment. Every credit must be matched by a debit and vice versa. If anything is sold abroad that is not offset by a purchase the excess is regarded as a temporary investment and is entered as a short term capital. An investment abroad appears as a debit item in the balance of payment. A purchase of goods not offset by a corresponding sale is a foreign claim on the domestic buyer and is entered in the ledger as a short-term credit. This identity of credit and debits is not index of equilibrium in the international trade; it?s only a book keeping balance. In real life situations exports and import as differ i.e. exports may be greater or lesser than imports. This is the short run effect international trade is regarded as temporary disequilibrium in the balance of payment.
