Current Account : Capital Account :: Trade Deficit : ?

The current account and capital account are two important parts of a country's balance of payments, which tracks all economic transactions with the rest of the world. The current account includes trade in goods and services, while the capital account records financial transactions like investments. When a country has a trade deficit, it means it is importing more goods and services than it is exporting, similar to how the current account shows the flow of trade. In this case, the counterpart to a trade deficit in the capital account would be a capital surplus, where more money is coming into the country through investments than is going out. For example, if a country buys more cars from abroad than it sells, it might attract foreign investors, resulting in a capital surplus to balance the trade deficit.
