(d) Current account deficit is excess of imports over exports. Policies favouring FDI and FII will reduce the deficit. Also if the domestic currency is devalued, export would become cheaper which will create additional demand for countries products in the world markets. Any reduction in export subsidy is dangerous as the countries goods will become costlier and exports would fall.
