Large-scale importation of foreign goods

Investment in capital market abroad

Large-scale export of locally made abroad Correct answer

Repayment of debt to her creditors

Answer Details

If a country has a balance of payment crisis, the best measure to bring about an improvement in the short run is large-scale export of locally made goods abroad. This is because the country can earn more foreign exchange by exporting its goods to other countries, which can be used to pay for its imports and improve its balance of payments position. The other options listed may not be effective in the short run as they may take time to yield positive results or may even exacerbate the balance of payments crisis.
