How are gifts and grants handled in the balance of payments?

What will be an ideal response?


Gifts and grants are handled as imports and exports of goodwill. If a domestic resident gives a gift to a foreign resident, the value of the gift is a debit (an import of goodwill) and the value of the gift is a credit on the domestic balance of payments because it results in payment of funds to foreigners.
